I'm old enough to remember the hubbub over JournoList, a listserv of leftist reporters from different news outlets who convened regularly in a chatroom to strategize how to spin stories and set narratives, such as how to torpedo Gov.Sarah Palin to get Barack Obama elected president. From 2007 to 2010, JournoList was its own echo chamber, as Politico put it at the time. Now the same thing's happening again, with TV lawyers acting as rhetorical wetwork teams covering the trials of their political nemesis, Donald Trump. JournoList was started by Ezra Klein, who now works for the New York Times,...

Newly unsealed court filings on Monday in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case reveal emails exchanged between officials from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Biden White House, and the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding former President Donald Trump’s presidential records. The newly unsealed filings also disclosed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) referred to its investigation into President Trump’s presidential records under the code name “[Redacted] Plasmic Echo.” A key exhibit included with a motion to compel filed in January was an FBI case file labeled “[Redacted] PLASMIC ECHO; Mishandling of Classified or National Defense Information.” This...

(Apr. 23, 2024) – On Thursday, The Post & Email published an article reporting the National Archives’ displaying of an “unauthenticated” long-form birth certificate image purportedly issued by the State of Hawaii in 2011 to Barack Hussein Obama. The revelation was made by Mike Zullo, lead investigator of a 5+-year probe into the image’s authenticity launched by then-Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joseph Arpaio at the request of more than 100 of his constituents and delegated to his “Cold Case Posse.” Concerns had arisen soon after Obama, the junior first-term U.S. senator from Illinois, announced his presidential ambitions in February 2007...

The Democrats definitely have a game plan. Every move they make is part of a bigger scheme, and it even has a name—the Cloward-Piven Strategy. They’re not shy about it, either. The tricky part is that the very cornerstone of their strategy involves causing so much chaos and distraction that it’s hard to keep track of what they’re really doing. Things get confusing, and the lines blur, making it tough to follow what’s actually happening. But remember, this plot is always in motion. The Cloward-Piven Strategy is quietly, yet effectively, dismantling America, one brick at a time. This strategy really...

A former senior policy adviser to President Barack Obama has been arrested and accused of child sex crimes in Great Britain. According to court documents, Rahamim 'Rami' Shy, a 46-year-old resident of New Jersey, stands accused of arranging a child sex offense, in addition to charges of possessing indecent images of children, according to a report from The Daily Mail. Shy, a US citizen, who lives in New Jersey, worked for the White House under president Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton, was arrested in late February by Bedfordshire Police. He was charged the following day and appeared...

An increasing number of Massachusetts residents have indicated that “migrants/immigration” is the most important issue for state leaders to address. A CommonWealth/GBH News poll conducted between March 21 and 29 by the MassINC Polling Group, surveyed 1,002 Massachusetts residents about which issues they felt were the most pressing in their state. The poll had a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.

The man who served as Joe Biden's stenographer during his time in the Obama administration has released a book explaining why he believes the then-vice president should be imprisoned and impeached. In "The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden," Mike McCormick relied on his personal experience following the former second in command across the world, and information revealed on Hunter Biden's laptop, to make his case.

A recent research paper by four noted economists, including Larry Summers, the former Treasury Secretary under Barack Obama and former Harvard President, discovered that the real inflation rate during the Biden years, using pre-1983 calculations reached 18% in 2022. The number is the highest inflation rate the country has seen in over 50 years. This research project was published by these four authors at the nonpartisan National Bureau of Economic Research in late February and is just now making waves. Marijn A. Bolhuis is an economist in the Macro Policy division of the International Monetary Fund’s Strategy, Policy, and Review...

When Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2008, he was fond of saying that he wanted to "fundamentally transform America." He wasn't always upfront about the specifics, but when we read between the lines, we knew what he was talking about. Steeped in Chicago radicalism, Obama wanted to push America hard toward socialism. Seven years after Obama left office, the Democrat Party has abandoned Obama's vision of "fundamentally transforming" that nation and instead wants to end America. I know you're thinking that I'm making a melodramatic statement, but let's explore why it's true. For starters, the left has put...

More than a dozen House GOP privacy hawks have blocked the House of Representatives from advancing a Speaker Mike Johnson-backed bill to renew a controversial federal government surveillance tool known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It comes hours after former President Trump posted on Truth Social, "KILL FISA, IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME AND MANY OTHERS." Nineteen Republicans voted against their party leadership

The former president has been making his presence increasingly felt in the cognitively impaired Joe Biden White House. (LifeSiteNews) — Former U.S. president Barack Obama once famously said that he would serve a third term as long as he didn’t have to do all the legwork. “If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats … and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d...

Yesterday was marked by two events in greater New York City which could not have been more polar. Donald Trump attended the wake of a murdered NYC policeman in Massapequa. Joe Biden attended a far-left wing star-studded campaign fund raiser at Radio City Music Hall. The 81-year-old commander-in-chief — who is struggling with a dismal 40% approval rating just a few months ahead of the November election — is hoping to rake in a staggering $25 million, which would make the event the most successful political fundraiser in history. More than 5,000 people paid between $250 and $250,000 to attend...

Despite mail-in voting and ballot harvesting and a host of other perfectly legal ways to tilt the playing field, could Old Joe Biden actually lose in November? If a Tuesday New York Times story is to be believed, the answer is a resounding yes, and among the most worried is the senescent corruptocrat’s old friend and mentor, Barack Obama. “Old friend and mentor,” as is well known, is largely an image manufactured for public consumption. Obama has actually taken the measure of his aged former wingman, and has famously warned: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.” If the...

Obama has reportedly had at least two meetings with Joe Biden over the last year to discuss the election. One has to wonder if Obama is concerned about old Joe’s chances in 2024. Why else would he take time away from his life of leisure to meet with Joe? He has probably seen the internal polling. FOX News reports: Obama met privately with Biden and worried Trump may win the 2024 election: Report Former President Barack Obama privately met with President Biden on at least two occasions and expressed concern that he could lose the 2024 election, according to a...

https://twitter.com/_BlakeHabyan/status/1768081825979654470 Must Watch: Remember When? Obama Summed Up How To Ruin America In Under 1 Minute: Obama: "Understand, it's not necessary for people to believe this information in order to weaken democratic institutions. You just have to flood a country’s public square with enough raw sewage. You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing, that citizens no longer know what to believe. Once they lose trust in their leaders, in mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth, the game is won." Remember… This is coming from the guy...

According to a recent report, there is quite the rivalry between current president Joe Biden, and former president Barack Obama. Two Biden aides who spoke with Axios discussed how President Biden compares himself often to Obama in private; part of a years-long ‘rivalry’ between the two. “Obama would be jealous,” Biden has reportedly said, “when speaking about a perceived accomplishment,” one aide said. Other aides have complained that “Obama and his team did not fully appreciate Biden’s experience with foreign policy, Congress and grip-and-grin politicking — and were disrespectful,” the outlet published. “The Obama people thought Biden would suck as...

Google has been putting its thumb on the scale to help Democratic candidates win the presidency in the last four election cycles, during which it censored Republicans, according to a right-leaning media watchdog. The Media Research Center published a report alleging 41 instances of “election interference” by the search engine since 2008. The MRC published a report accusing Google of having “utilized its power to help push to electoral victory the most liberal candidates … while targeting their opponents for censorship.” The report comes weeks after AllSides conducted an analysis which found that news aggregator Google News skewed even more...

Former U.S. President Barack Obama called in at the British Prime Minister’s official residence on Monday, but the office is keeping tight-lipped about the purpose of the one-hour meeting. Barack Obama surprised when he turned up at Rishi Sunak’s front door on Monday, going inside the historic Downing Street residence for an hour and meeting with the Prime Minister. Former President Obama walked up to the famous black door alone but later emerged alongside the U.S. Ambassador to London Jane Hartley.

Your body processes drugs that you take. The rate at which they leave your body depends on the individual medication, You get an idea by how often you need to take something that has been prescribed for you. Medications taken 2-4 four times a day are generally processed fairly rapidly and are out of your bloodstream within a couple of days after they are discontinued. It's very clear that the drugs given to Joe Biden for his SOTU speech are completely out of his system and he is back to his old self. Literally his old self. Which lead one...
