Month: June 2024

Ahead of the contentious GOP primary in Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District that features House Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good and challenger John McGuire, one Freedom Caucus member has endorsed the challenger.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) endorsed McGuire, a state senator and former Navy SEAL, over the weekend. “I love this country with a soldier’s passion. I’ve served in Congress since 2016, and we need reinforcements to help Make America Great Again. I’m happy to join President Trump by supporting and endorsing John McGuire for Congress,” Davidson claimed in a statement. “I look forward to serving with him in the 119th Congress to support President Trump and the America First agenda. Drain the swamp!”

The Fifth District of Virginia has become an intense battle for the war over who holds sway in the GOP House conference come January 2025. Former President Donald Trump, the GOP’s presumptive nominee, previously endorsed McGuire in part because Good initially backed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ bid for the nomination before switching to Trump. Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other establishment types are also circling the wagons to take out Good and have poured millions of dollars into the race to damage the Virginia incumbent. Good organized against McCarthy in January 2023 and voted for McCarthy’s ousting last October on his way to becoming the Freedom Caucus Chairman, and McCarthy has spent much of this election cycle attempting to exact revenge against his objectors.

Davidson was asked by POLITICO whether it would be embarrassing or not if Good lost his primary.  “I’m sure he would be embarrassed that he lost,” Davidson said, in a half-snipe, half-dodge remark.

The ill-will between Davidson and Good started out last December when Davidson penned a letter to the House Freedom Caucus board opposing Good’s ascent to chairman. “I ask that we consider how to best increase our influence while preserving our power to move policy in the right direction. I strongly feel that Bob Good as Chairman will impair that objective,” Davidson wrote. 

Nevertheless, other Freedom Caucus members are sticking by Good. Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX), Andrew Clyde (R-GA), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ) were recently featured at a Good campaign event in Louisa County, Virginia. The trio used the House Freedom Caucus to boast their conservative bona fides and lauded Good’s leadership. During his remarks, Roy said: “My question to members of the Republican Congress who aren’t in the Freedom Caucus is why?”

Photos found on Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell

Lawyers representing Hunter Biden asked Monday for a new trial following his conviction last week on charges he lied about his drug use to buy a gun — only to withdraw the request minutes later.

Convicted felon Hunter Biden and his lawyers initially filed documents in Delaware federal court on Monday morning. They claimed that Judge Maryellen Noreika, who presided over the trial, lacked jurisdiction due to pending rulings by the Philadelphia-based Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Gazette reported.

Judge Noreika, who was appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump, had previously dismissed several motions to drop the charges against Biden, including the defense’s argument that the case violated Biden’s Second Amendment rights.

A three-judge panel upheld Noreika’s rulings, but the appeals court has yet to rule on a request for reconsideration by the full Third Circuit.

According to New York Post, in the initial filing, Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell stated, “The Third Circuit, however, did not then and has not yet issued its mandate as to the orders dismissing either appeal. Thus, when this Court empaneled the jury on June 3, 2024 and proceeded to trial, it was without jurisdiction to do so.”

However, moments later it was revealed that the motion had been mysteriously deleted. A note in the court docket stated, “The Motion for a New Trial… has been deleted at the request of counsel,” describing it as a “correcting entry.” The reason for this sudden withdrawal remains unclear.

More from the New York Post:

The Third Circuit rejected one of Hunter’s appeals on May 9, finding it couldn’t make a ruling before trial.

The appellate court on May 28 also shot down the Biden scion’s other bid to toss the three gun charges he faced, finding that it couldn’t rule before a jury verdict.

Hunter, 54, was found guilty June 11 of falsely claiming he didn’t use drugs when he bought a .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver on Oct. 12, 2018, when he was actually hooked on crack cocaine at the time.

He faces up to 25 years behind bars at his sentencing. Noreika has yet to set a sentencing date.

A spokesperson for special counsel David Weiss’ office declined to comment.

Lowell didn’t immediately return a request for comment on why he withdrew the motion for a new trial.

Last week, Hunter Biden dropped his lawsuit against former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Robert Costello, the former lawyer of the ex-New York City mayor. The lawsuit accused them of manipulating data found on Biden’s infamous laptop from hell.

In September 2023, Hunter Biden filed a civil lawsuit in a federal court in California against Rudy Giuliani and his former lawyer, Robert Costello, claiming they violated state and federal computer privacy laws when they ‘hacked into’ his laptop.

Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, filed the stipulation for dismissal on Thursday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The document requested the court to dismiss the lawsuit against Giuliani and Robert Costello “without prejudice, with each party bearing its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses,” according to the New York Post.

“This dismissal – along with Hunter Biden’s conviction based on evidence taken from the laptop – is a vindication for Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Costello as well as all of the media outlets who broke the laptop story in 2020 and suffered orchestrated censorship by social media, the leftist mainstream media, and others who engaged in election interference,” Sibley told The Post.

Four individuals were detained following reports of a shooting outside the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Thursday night.

The location was hosting a graduation ceremony for over 100 L.A. County high school graduates, including 29 students who were currently detained youth on probation.

The ceremony ended in chaos when a person attacked one of the teen graduates.

A person reportedly leaped from a second-story balcony, attacking one of the teen graduates. This action triggers a further escalation, resulting in a brawl involving multiple individuals, according to KTLA.

County of Los Angeles Probation Department released the following statement:

The Los Angeles County Office of Education and the Los Angeles County Probation Department hosted Operation Graduation at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. This event celebrated the educational milestone of more than 100 LA County high school graduates, including twenty-nine currently detained youth on probation.

At the conclusion of the graduation, during the recessional, a community member leaped over a second-story balcony and assaulted a community graduate. All detained probation youth had already exited the auditorium and were placed in a secure holding area prior to the incident occurring. The Probation Special Enforcement Operations unit quickly responded, containing the incident and restoring order inside the auditorium. We are pleased to report that all detained probation graduates and Los Angeles County Office of Education graduates are uninjured, safe, and secure.

Subsequently, a brawl involving several community members occurred outside the venue. Local law enforcement responded swiftly, and four people were detained pending further investigation.

No injuries were reported.

The safety and security of all Los Angeles County youth are of the utmost importance to the Los Angeles County Probation Department. The Probation Department will continue to work with our neighboring law enforcement agencies and partners, such as the Los Angeles County Office of Education, aiming to celebrate the accomplishments of our youth while working towards creating a safer community.

According to KTLA, “Officers responding to the scene discovered a brawl outside the concert hall involving several suspects. Four people were detained during the incident. Investigating officers said several bullet shell casings were discovered in the area. It’s unclear what prompted the fight.”

I had just walked the stage when suddenly, kids from an alternative education school and probation started fighting,” Brianna Valdez told FOX LA.

“Girls were fighting, guys were fighting,” she adds. “I was really scared.”

Another witness, Raul Valdez, said, “We were coming out of the ceremony, and there was a car on the other side. We just saw shooting and saw the smoke and everything, and everybody just got down on the ground.”

Another witness recounted saying, “This man threw his mom on the floor, just covered her with his body… ‘Mom, get down, they’re shooting.’”

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday the dissolution of the Israeli war cabinet. The move follows the departure of the centrists Benny Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot from the cabinet and governing coalition on June 9. 

The original six-member war cabinet included three voting members, Netanyahu, Gantz, and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three observing members, Eisenkot, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, and the ultra-orthodox politician Aryeh Deri. Since the departure of Gantz and Eisenkot, it has been unclear whether they would be replaced or the much-diminished war cabinet would be disbanded.

Netanyahu’s decision to disband the war cabinet came in response to pressure from the right to include the rightist security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, in the war cabinet as a replacement for Gantz. After Gantz’s resignation, Ben-Gvir had demanded his inclusion in the cabinet in a post on X.

Decisions related to the current war in Gaza and possible negotiations will now fall to a broader security cabinet, which includes right-wingers Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who both support further military action in Gaza.

Takoma Park police have rolled out what could be the most unconventional weapon in the history of law enforcement: free Slurpee coupons.

This month, officers are doling out what they call “tickets” to children—not for misbehavior, but for good deeds, according to WJLA.

The program, named “Operation Chill,” is designed to build a positive relationship between the police and local youth. Officers are issuing ‘tickets’ to children for good behavior and acts of kindness. These tickets can be redeemed for a refreshing Slurpee at local 7-Eleven stores.

“You can get a ticket by doing something good, like if an officer sees you helping someone across the street, or maybe you’re wearing a helmet while you’re riding your bike,” spokeswoman Catherine Plevy with the Takoma Park Police Department told WTOP.

“It gives a chance for the officer to go up to a child and have a good first interaction,” Plevy added. “I know one child last year, he was so afraid to like be approached by anybody. The officer got down to his level. He even walked down to 7-Eleven with him and while they got the Slurpee,” Plevy said.

WJLA reported:

Appropriate ‘offenses’ might include helping others, deterring crime, practicing safety like wearing a helmet when riding a bike, or just having a pleasant conversation with an officer.

The program has been around since the 90s in different cities across the country, but unfortunately, there has been a sharp increase in juvenile crime here locally. Crime in Takoma Park increased last year due to social issues, drugs, and changes in laws affecting juveniles, according to Police Chief Antonio DeVaul.

Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) data shows since 2022, the number of juveniles arrested for violent crimes has risen in the county by more than 300%.

From fiscal year 2022 to fiscal year 2023, the number of juvenile violent crime suspects increased by 178%. Young victims also rose in the county by more than 200%.

Several reacted skeptically to this unconventional approach. Many view it as an inadequate response to the serious and escalating issue of youth crime in the area.

One X user wrote, “This is your city under democratic rule. This will do nothing to solve any issue(s).”

Another commented, “This shows how dumb democrats really are…”

Another added, “Instead of giving out free slushees, how about give out real jail sentences?”

Suggests comments about ethical failures are ‘dangerous rhetoric’

The Connecticut Bar Association is warning lawyers against criticizing the politicized prosecutions of President Donald Trump because that could become “dangerous rhetoric.”

The association recently dispatched to members a message signed by Maggie Castinado, its president, James T. Shearin, president-elect, and Emily Gianquinto, vice president.

They warn against “reckless words” that attack the integrity of the nation’s judicial system.

They charged, “In the wake of the recent trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump, public officials have issued statements claiming that the trial was a ‘sham,’ a ‘hoax,’ and ‘rigged’; our justice system is ‘corrupt and rigged’; the judge was ‘corrupt” and highly unethical’; and, that the jury was ‘partisan’ and ‘precooked.’”

There also have been comparisons to communist “show” trials, in which the defendant is guilty and the court hearings are simply to create the appearance of a judicial proceeding.

The bar missive claims, without documenting whether those charges are, in fact, true, those statements are “unsubstantiated and reckless.”

And they can “provoke acts of violence against” members of the judiciary. Further, they ‘sow distrust in the public for the courts … .”

Those comments, the association claims, “cross the line from criticism to dangerous rhetoric.”

The attempt to suppress speech with doesn’t align with the politics of the association comes as a number of Democrat prosecutors continue their courtroom assaults on Trump.

Already, Arthur Engoron, a judge in New York, has demanded a punishment of nearly half a billion dollars for the way Trump negotiated loans for his corporation, practices that industry insiders described as routine. In fact, no one lost money or complained and the bankers involved wanted to do more business with Trump. And Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg took claims of business reporting misdemeanors that already had passed the statute of limitations and claimed they were felonies because they led to a further, unspecified, crime. A jury in the leftist enclave of New York convicted Trump in a decision that now is on appeal.

Several other cases, such as a prosecutor allegedly being appointed improperly and another with ethical clouds because the DA had hired her paramour, with tax money, to work her allegations against Trump, have significant obstacles looming.

The good news: Thanks to God’s underrated sense of irony, President Joe Biden’s administration’s ludicrous plan to build a pier in Gaza without putting U.S. boots on the ground in order to deliver aid that absolutely, positively wouldn’t be stolen by Hamas has been, for the moment, foiled by the unseen element of bad weather that happens every year in the Mediterranean. More’s the pity.

The bad news: Apparently, “devout Catholic” Joe Biden can’t take a divine hint and the American taxpayer will be on the hook for at least another $22 million to fix the thing so Hamas can restart stealing … erm, I mean, borrowing aid.

According to the The Jerusalem Post, the $320 million pier had apparently been fixed and ready for action last Saturday after breaking apart under moderate seas and partially sinking in late May. However, it only managed to say open for a single day before that darned water stopped cooperating again.

“The pier was reattached to the coastline Friday after a mishap in which heavy seas cost at least $22 million in damage to the structure. More than a million pounds of aid flowed over it Saturday, but operations were curtailed again Sunday and Monday because of more heavy sea conditions,” The Washington Post reported, citing military sources.

In addition, the World Food Program announced on Sunday that they were suspending aid operations because of rampant looting.

“We are reassessing the safety aspects of where we should be and what this means for us,” said World Food Program head Cindy McCain. “It made things a lot more dangerous. … The crowd is already hungry. They’re desperate. And then to have something like this occur?”

“[WFP trucks] are looted because it’s so difficult to get along,” she added.

Hamas has a long history of, shall we say, requisitioning aid provided to the benighted residents of Gaza and decided who needs it most (hint: usually themselves), but that didn’t stop President Biden from promising to build the pier during his State of the Union address in March.

“The United States has been leading international efforts to get more humanitarian assistance into Gaza,” he said. “Tonight, I’m directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters.

“No U.S. boots will be on the ground. This temporary pier would enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza every day.”

Sources say the military was not appraised of the plan before it was announced during the State of the Union. Which, you know, also presents problems.

The pier has run way over budget — up to $320 million, according to Fox News — and has “caused several issues since USAID commenced deliveries,” the outlet reported last month.

Deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh blamed some of the trouble on “heavy sea states,” which caused the temporary pier “to break free from their anchors due to a loss in power and subsequently beach ashore.”

“I think unfortunately, we had a perfect storm of high seas states, and then, as I mentioned, this North African weather system also came in at the same time, creating not an optimal environment to operate this JLOTS– this temporary pier.”

However, as National Review’s Jim Geraghty noted in a May 29 piece, “it did not require a ‘perfect storm’ to break apart the pier,” noting that CNN reported the pier is only designed to withstand three-foot waves and 15 mile-per-hour winds.

“Three-foot waves appear regularly on the Gaza coastline,” he wrote. “Now, the Pentagon’s JLOTS guys aren’t stupid. They knew the likelihood that weather conditions would require operations to halt at least temporarily, and the potential risk to equipment and personnel. This is why you’re seeing speculation that the Pentagon prioritized the president’s orders over a reasonable assessment of the risk.

“We don’t know who, precisely, came up with the idea to build a pier. Perhaps on some future date, we’ll hear that it was the proposal of national-security adviser Jake Sullivan or Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin or someone else. The buck stops with the president, anyway; he’s the one who authorized the mission.

“But . . . come on. The plan was to build a pier on the front door of a war zone, in the absolute minimally acceptable environmental conditions, and hope for the best? That has Joe Biden’s fingerprints all over it.”

And the results? Pallets of food, unused, sitting in warehouses. The risk of those pallets being pilfered by Hamas if they ever managed to make it to Gaza. Problems coordinating between the various governments involved in the effort to build the pier — the U.S., Israel and Cyprus, along with conflicts involving the U.S. Agency for International Development. Oh, and that darned weather.

“We know the weather, and we know the rhythm of the waves and the wind at any time of year, and we could have told it was not going to work,” said Miki Peleg, general manager of the Cypriot cargo-ship operator contracted by the government to remove the damaged pier with their tugboat.

As it turns out, the administration didn’t even need God’s sense of humor to disabuse them of this fiasco. They just needed common sense. Sadly, neither that nor the Lord are generally given much heed at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. these days.

Trump hater Kathy Griffin is in the news again.

Kathy Griffin cannot speak for a few weeks after having vocal cord surgery.

Excerpt from Fox News:

On Tuesday, the 63-year-old comedian – who has been open about her vocal cord issues since being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021 – uploaded a video to Instagram explaining the details of her impending vocal cord surgery.

The actress revealed she will not be able to speak for a couple of weeks.

“One thing that sucks about cancer, it’s hard to focus on anything else when one is experiencing shortness of breath, deep coughing, pain, extreme fatigue &, in my case, vocal cord issues,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “One thing that doesn’t suck about cancer… how shameless I am when clapping back at people dare to sass Ms. Kathy about anything. Try CANCER! I cannot get enough of it.”

Doctors removed half of her left lung, which left her with vocal cord issues.

In May 2023, Griffin underwent an operation on her left vocal cord.

“I’m getting an implant in my left vocal cord, which was left permanently paralyzed during my lung cancer surgery, where they took out half my left lung,” Kathy Griffin said in a social media post. “I also have an aperture, which is a tear above my vocal cords and that’s why sometimes when I’m doing stand-up my voice goes to a higher pitch.”

“So, anyway, I’m never nervous before surgery and I’ve had quite a few. But I am a little nervous about this one ’cause it’s my voice, and I’ve already gone through it once with the voice problem,” Griffin added.

“Anyway, wish me luck, and I can’t talk at all for two weeks, which is going to drive me crazy. So I’ll be watching a lot of TikTok, and I won’t be making any,” she said. “Anyway, that’s the update. Always trying to make the voice better.”

WATCH:

“Vocal cord surgery went well. As you can see some scarring and swelling. It will be worth it if I get some of my voice back,” Griffin said in a follow up post to Instagram.

By Wayne Allyn Root

First things first. I know President Trump as well as anyone in the U.S. media. I consider him a friend. I’m honored to say he’s been a guest on my TV and radio shows 15 times. And he’s chosen me as opening speaker at many of his rallies.

So, I know President Trump. I know how he thinks- like a chess champion. But only Trump gets to choose. And only Trump knows his ultimate criteria. So, these are only my thoughts and choices. Not Trump’s. In the end Trump will make the choice. And we will support whoever he chooses.

But here are my leading choices and my thoughts on the finalists. There are seven finalists being vetted by the US government. Assuming Trump is not doing a classic “head fake,” these are the only seven under final consideration. So, I am choosing among these final seven…

Senator JD Vance (R- Ohio)

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida)

Senator Tim Scott (R- South Carolina)

Governor Doug Burgum (R- North Dakota)

Dr. Ben Carson

Congressman Elise Stefanik (R- NY)

Congressman Byron Donalds (R-Florida)

Trump may pick Dr. Ben Carson. It’s certainly a safe pick. Ben is one of the nicest, smartest people in the history of US politics. You can’t get smarter than a brain surgeon. He’s been my guest on TV and radio many times- he is the ultimate gentleman. He is nice, polite, classy and brilliant. He is the living embodiment of the American Dream. A poor black kid who became a brain surgeon, Presidential contender in 2016, and a Trump Cabinet Secretary (HUD).

I’ve heard rumors that Ben was Trump’s top choice for a year now. He is an ideal pick if…

Trump wants someone safe, steady, loyal and credible. Someone who has no negatives to hurt the ticket. Someone who is only there to support Trump’s agenda. Someone who is highly likeable. That’s Dr Ben. He is certainly a safe and steady choice, with no negatives. But not exciting.

Ditto for Governor Doug Burgum. He also fits the criteria of safe, steady, loyal and credible. He’s kind of a Midwest version of Dr. Ben Carson. But he’s also a brilliant businessman who earned a fortune in the high-tech world. And he’s a 100% pro-energy guy, who Trump could put in charge of making America energy independent again- which is what defeats inflation. Burgum is certainly a safe and steady choice with no negatives. But not exciting.

Senator Marco Rubio is an interesting choice. He is telegenic, an excellent communicator and Hispanic. He would be the first Hispanic in history on a presidential ticket. He is a prolific fundraiser- especially among the pro-Israel community. A strong choice, all the way around.

But my issue with him is his voting record. I want a clear-cut conservative patriot as VP. Trump is 78 years old. If the VP ever has to step up (God forbid), is he a true MAGA conservative? Rubio’s rating by Heritage Foundation (ratings don’t lie) is only 67% in this Senate session. His lifetime rating is only 81%. Good, but not great.

That leaves my favorite two choices. My final pick would come down to these two.

JD Vance is my first choice. First, he’s a true conservative patriot. His Heritage rating is 93% in this session and 93% lifetime too. If he had to step in for President Trump, he’d be another Trump or Reagan. That fits the bill.

Now to the chess board. Strategy-wise, JD is the perfect pick. He’s young, exciting, fresh-faced and 110% Midwest. He speaks for the working class and middle class of the Midwest, who’ve been left behind by Democrats and the DC Swamp. JD as VP brings out millions of Americans who feel left behind. He gives Trump an excellent chance of winning Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Game over. Checkmate.

JD is my first choice.

But a close second for me, and the ultimate grand slam homerun wild card is Congressman Byron Donalds.

Before I got into politics, I was the most successful and well known Las Vegas oddsmaker and sports handicapper. I built my success on picking underdogs. Long shots who paid off. I built fortune and fame by picking underdogs with qualities no one else noticed.

Byron Donalds fits that bill.

Byron is young, black, dynamic, telegenic, and although a Florida Congressman, he was born and raised by a single mom on the streets of Brooklyn, New York. He speaks the language of young black America.

Trump is doing better with black Americans than any Republican ever. This pick would excite black America like nothing in history. This is how you “send it home.” This is how you close the deal. This is how you change voting patterns forever more. This is how you change history. I predict Trump would take 40% or more of the black vote with Donalds as VP. That would hand Trump a landslide.

But it gets better. Byron Donalds’ Heritage rating is 100% in this session and his lifetime score is 98%. He is not only the perfect young, dynamic, exciting black conservative, but the perfect conservative- PERIOD.

So, my two finalists for Trump’s VP would be JD Vance and Byron Donalds.

If you want young, exciting and “close out the Midwest,” pick JD. If you want to make a statement and excite black voters like never before in history, pick Byron Donalds. In each case, we get a true conservative patriot by Trump’s side- with the Heritage ratings to prove it.

But, that’s just me. We’ll soon find out how Trump thinks. In the end, that’s all that matters.
