Below is my column in Fox.com on the authentication of Hunter Biden’s laptop in the Delaware trial. The government has denounced the Russian disinformation claims as a “conspiracy theory” and put on evidence that there is no evidence of tampering with the laptop. The FBI declared the laptop to be “real” and “authentic” and the court agreed. It was introduced as evidence before many reporters who previously embraced the debunked “conspiracy theory.” As discussed below, Houdini’s elephant was just revealed on stage and most of the audience looked away.
Here is the column:
Watching the coverage this week out of Delaware was like finding oneself in a parallel universe. There were ABC, NBC, CBS, the Washington Post and other news outlets reporting matter-of-factly that the Hunter Biden laptop showed no evidence of tampering and was both real and authentic.
These are the same outlets, and some of the same reporters, who eagerly spread the false claims that the laptop was “Russian disinformation.”
Yet, what followed the testimony of FBI agent Erika Jensen was absolute crickets. There was no effort to track down the signatories of the now-debunked letter from former intelligence officials just before the election. In the letter, figures such as Leon Panetta, former CIA director in the Obama administration, claimed that the laptop had all the markings of a Russian disinformation effort by intelligence services. (Panetta continued to make the assertion even in late 2023 in pushing what the federal government is now calling a “conspiracy theory.”)
There was no attempt by the media to confront associates of the Biden campaign (including now Secretary of State Antony Blinken) who pushed a long effort to get former intelligence officials to sign a letter.
There was no attempt to question President Joe Biden, who made this false claim in the presidential election to deflect any questions about the evidence of corrupt influence peddling on the laptop.
Years ago, I wrote that the Biden campaign had pulled off the single greatest political trick in history. As I wrote back then, the key to this Houdini-esque trick was to get the media to invest in the deception like audience members called to the stage.
Houdini used to make his elephant Jennifer disappear on stage every night because he knew that the audience wanted her to disappear. They were part of the act. The Bidens made the media part of the act, and these reporters have to back the illusion or admit that they were part of the deception.
They are all laptop deniers, but they know that there are few who will call them to account for their conspiracy theory. Rather, it is social media where readers can see videos of leading media claiming that the laptop is the work of Russian intelligence.
In 2020, CBS News’ Lesley Stahl literally laughed mockingly at then-President Donald Trump when he raised the Hunter Biden laptop and what it revealed about the Bidens.
Figures like former Chief of Staff at the CIA and Department of Defense Jeremy Bash, who told MSNBC that the laptop “looked like Russian intelligence” and “walked like Russian intelligence.” He dismissed the relevance of the laptop before the election by declaring that “this effort by Rudy Giuliani and the New York Post and Steve Bannon to cook up supposed dirt on Joe Biden looks like a classic, Russian playbook disinformation campaign.”
Bash added that it made Trump an effective agent of Russian intelligence since he kept referencing the laptop: “[when] Rudy Giuliani suddenly comes forward with these mysteriously created emails, probably hacked through a Russian intelligence operation, we have to acknowledge the fact that the President of the United States is supporting, is condoning, is welcoming a Russian intelligence operation in 2020. … This is collusion in plain sight.”
Bash, like others behind the conspiracy theory, was later given an intelligence position by Biden.
The New York Times and The Washington Post both eventually verified Hunter Biden’s laptop after big tech dismissed the New York Post’s bombshell reporting during the 2020 presidential election. The Post reporting was famously censored by Twitter ahead of the 2020 election.
CNN’s Alex Marquardt told viewers, “We do know it is a very active Russian campaign.”
Indeed, the Washington Post has continued to suggest that this reporting was accurate. One of the leading purveyors of this false story was the Post’s Philip Bump, who slammed the New York Post for its now proven Hunter Biden laptop story.
In 2021, when media organizations were finally admitting that the laptop was authentic, Bump was still declaring that it was a “conspiracy theory.” Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Bump continued to suggest that “the laptop was seeded by Russian intelligence.”
After Bump had a meltdown in an interview when confronted over past false claims, I wrote a column about the litany of such false claims. The Post surprised many of us by issuing a statement that they stood by all of Bump’s reporting, including the laptop conspiracy theory. That was in August 2023.
Of course, this trick would not have been possible without the assistance of 50 former intelligence officials who were reportedly organized through Clinton campaign associates to issue the infamous letter.
These figures then continued to spread the false claim.
Former CIA Director John Brennan, one of the 50 who signed the letter, also claimed that the laptop bore “the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.”
James Clapper, a former director of National Intelligence and CNN analyst, said the laptop was “classic, textbook Soviet, Russian tradecraft at work.”
Members of Congress also repeated the false claims, including Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., who told the media not to join Giuliani as a “vehicle for Russian disinformation.”
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, insisted that the laptop was clearly “Kremlin propaganda.”
This long-debunked claim was even recently repeated in Congress by Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., who claimed that the laptop could not be authenticated even though it was just authenticated and introduced in a federal prosecution.
All of those who pushed what the U.S. government is now calling a false “conspiracy theory” have flourished in the wake of Biden’s victory. Intelligence officials like Bash received plum positions while others like Clapper were given media contracts. Schiff is expected to be elected to the Senate and is running, ironically enough, on his record with intelligence investigations of Trump.
Conversely, the New York Post and reporters like Miranda Devine have received no recognition for their work in disclosing the contents and defying attacks from politicians and media alike. While reporters were given a Pulitzer for reporting the now debunked Russian collusion story, Devine and others will never receive a Pulitzer for uncovering the true story behind the laptop.
Devine, the New York Post, and others simply refused to get in on the trick. As is often said, there are some facts simply “too good to check” in the media. The Hunter Biden laptop disappeared from the stage like Houdini’s elephant because the media wanted it to disappear.
The reappearance of the laptop in a Delaware courtroom might be awkward for most people, but not the media or intelligence officials or politicians who pushed the conspiracy theory. After all, they were all in on the trick. It was the voters who were played for chumps.
Now we know where Kamala Harris gets her word salad talking points
Joe Biden in his own words:
Transcript of President Joe Biden’s Interview With TIME
Let me ask you one on the…if you do win in November, Mr. President, with a mandate to continue your approach to foreign policy, what would your goals be in the second term?
Biden: To finish what I started in the first term. To continue to make sure that the European continent—I’ll tell you, I got a call from Kissinger about 10 days before he died. And he used the following comment. He said that not since Napoleon has Europe not looked over their shoulder at dread with what Europe—what Russia may do, until now. Until now, you can’t let that change.
The point is that we have an opportunity to have the decisions we make in the last couple of years, in the next four years, are going to determine the future of Europe for a long time to come. And so that’s why we can not let NATO fail, we have to build that both politically and economically. And militarily, which we’re investing significantly. In addition to that, I am desperately focused on making sure that we deal with the… what they are calling the south now. There are going to be a billion people in Africa in the next several years* . We have to, we have to be a catalyst for change for the benefit, for the, for the better, we have to help them build back better, we have to help them.
We, on the climate side, have come along and we’ve done everything that is reasonably—and three other countries are the reason we’re in the problem we’re in. But what happens if all of a sudden, on the Amazon, they’re starting to clear, vast swaths of land, cut down forests, etc. Back when Dick Lugar was alive, he and I started something back in the ’90s, where we said—late ’80s, excuse me—where we said to, in the Amazon, they said, look, if you, we’ll make a deal with you Brazil. You don’t cut your forest, we’ll pay you not to do it. We’ll pay you not to do it. We have to prevent— And that’s why we’re working so hard to make sure Angola can be in a position that they have more solar capacity than almost any place in the world, to help that whole continent.
That’s why we want to build a railroad all the way—with others in Europe—all the way across the continent. So that you have, you have countries that have overproduction of agriculture and some that don’t have it, but no way to get a transfer. There’s so much opportunity in Africa. And we have to work it.
* Africa currently has ~ 1.5 billion people
Floyd, it sounds like Biden is saying there will be a billion ‘more’ Africans in the not so distant future. And that’s true, according to this population forecast.
By 2050 Africa could have a billion ‘more’ people. That’s only 26 years from now!
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1224205/forecast-of-the-total-population-of-africa/
Proof that using Hunter Biden’s drug dealer supply will cause you to utter gibberish
ATS – the problem is not just about the population of Africa.
We have joked about slips by every president.
You can not speak publicly as much as most politicians do without making periodic mistake.
Trump exagerates and overgeneralizes – this subjects him to lost of attacks – but because he is nearly always correct as a generalization, rather than on specific details large numbers do dot care.
As an Example Trump fixates on the number of criminals, terrorists and mentally unstable people crossing the border.
Those are a small percentage of illegal border crossers. They are STILL responsible for more drugs more violence, more murders.
But Biden can not even manage stream of consciousness rants anymore. His remarks are jumpy, disjoint, he rarely finishes a though,
It is not that his policies are bad – though they are – but that listening to Biden it is hard to tell what he actually thinks or knows about anything.
Jonathan: Dr. Jill Biden shows up at Hunter’s trial. And what is the reaction of Fox and Murdock’s NY Post where you write columns for both tabloids? On Fox yesterday Jeanine Pirro and her two co-hosts opined Dr. Jill was there to try to intimidate the jurors. Can’t make up this stuff. The Fox hosts showed a NY post headline that read: “”Joe Biden making a cynical power play aimed at keeping son Hunter out of prison, him in the White House…This was a Mafia-like message: Screw with my son and you screw with me”.
Can’t get more demented than what you see these days on Fox and in the NY Post. No mention of the fact that Melania never showed up for one day of her husband’s “hush money” trial. Nor the fact that DJT did command his MAGA supporters in Congress to show up at the trial to ACTUALLY try to intimidate the jurors. Even Chuck Zito was there–the head of “Bikers for Trump” who members participated in the assault on the Capitol. Zito served many years in prison for drug trafficking so he was there to also try to intimidate the jury. The message to the jury from Zito, a crime boss, was “Don’t mess with Donald Trump”! Fortunately, the 12 jurors stood up to DJT’s intimidation tactics and found him guilty on all 34 criminal counts. They know what a Mafia head looks like–can’t intimidate tough New York jurors!
The REAL message is that Dr. Jill will be there at her son’s trial, not to intimidate, but to show her love and support. And she will be by her husband’s side throughout the campaign. As for Melania she will probably remain MIA!
,
Dennis, maybe you or your other screen name ‘Gigi’ could help me get something clear:
When Joe Biden knew Putin 40 years ago, as he has said he did,
was that BEFORE his uncle was eaten by cannibals
and AFTER he was arrested in South Africa,
or was it the other way around?
It seems like you would know, if anyone. Thanks!
” Dr. Jill was there to try to intimidate the jurors.”
Reasons that we needed Video in Manhattan and Delaware.
I do not want to have to Trump you or MSNBC or Fox regarding the NYC or DE trials.
I do not want talking heads to tell me what to think.
Transcripts are nice – but as the House is demanding right now – if you really want to know what is actually going on – you need an actual recording.
”Joe Biden making a cynical power play aimed at keeping son Hunter out of prison, him in the White House”
Of course that is what Joe wants. There is nothing wrong with Joe Wanting that.
The QUESTION is what will Joe do with his public power to accomplish that.
Joes power as a Senator, VP or President is NOT his peronsally. It was delegated to him by the public for the business of the people – not for the benefit of friends and family.
NOT getting into this trial, but making the news is a LONG LONG list of incidents involving NOT JUST Hunter but other Biden family members dating back more than 20 years. in which Biden’s were caught in posession of appreciable amounts of illegal drugs – nearly always cocaine or crack, and investigations and prosecutions died.
We can all understand non-criminal diversion for first offenders – and in much of the country that is relatively normal – for USE charges.
I would note that PWID – Possession with Intent to Deliver – Druig dealing – is defined primarily by the AMOUNTS. Hunter was pretty much ALWAYS in psossion of quantities that would classify him as a DRUG DEALER.
I would furhter not that Dealing – need not involve taking money for someone for Drugs. Buying Drugs and sharing them with everyone at a party is drug dealing (even if the amounts are small).
What has been making the news – outside of the left wing bubble, is the many many many instances in which arrests, charges, investigations – especially into Hunter but the entire Biden clan disappeared as a result of Joes influence.
Hunter Biden is NOT no trial as someone who got addicted to drugs, got caught and now may be held accountable, but is entitled to some leniency as a first time offended.
Hunter Biden is someone who has had a drug problem for a very long time, and has been arrested and investigatged many times before.
In the past he would have qualified for diversionary programs. Instead his actions were politically diverted – as such he did NOT get treatment, he did NOT get his life cleaned up. And who prevented him from facing some tough choices that could have turned things arround – Joe, his father using not his own Power byt he power given to him by the people whop elected Joe.
“…This was a Mafia-like message: Screw with my son and you screw with me”.
Your attacks on Piro etc would be more convincing without the Video of Biden saying to a mayor in FL – “Nobody messes with a Biden”
If you do not want to be attributed with sending mafia like messages in the future – all you need do is NOT send them int he past.
“Nor the fact that DJT did command his MAGA supporters in Congress to show up at the trial to ACTUALLY try to intimidate the jurors.”
So you have video of that ?
“Even Chuck Zito was there–the head of “Bikers for Trump” who members participated in the assault on the Capitol.”
Zito was at a political protest.
“Zito served many years in prison for drug trafficking so he was there to also try to intimidate the jury.”
Hunter was dealing Drugs for many years – that is what buying large amounts of drugs and sharing them with friends and acquanitances – or worse still using drugs and prostitutes to close business deals, is called.
Is Hunter’s presence at his own trial intimdating juries ?
“The message to the jury from Zito, a crime boss, was “Don’t mess with Donald Trump”! ”
The same Message that Joe Biden has LITTERALLY said
“Fortunately, the 12 jurors stood up to DJT’s intimidation tactics and found him guilty on all 34 criminal counts. They know what a Mafia head looks like–can’t intimidate tough New York jurors!”
12 NYC jurors found Trump guilty of non-crimes. thats is not standing up to a mafia boss.
Micheal Cohen is alive – Mafia capo’s that steal from their bosses do not last 5minutes.
Your mafia analogy falls apart all over.
“The REAL message is that Dr. Jill will be there at her son’s trial, not to intimidate, but to show her love and support.”
Hunter is not her son.
I honestly do not care why Jill is there. It could be to provide support – though I would note this Trial is really embarrassing for the Biden’s.
While Hunter’s conduct is absolutely absymal – that of the rest of the family is REALLY bad, Pretty much every witness that had almost any relationship with Hunter – was ALSO doing drugs, Drinking heavily, engaging is orgies,
I do not beleive Jill was the matriarch through all of this – but she was through alot of it.
If she wanted to “support the family” she could have avoided being at Trial with a lot of tough love.
This lawless hedonistic life style – what was most egregiously epitomized by Hunter but was going throughout the family, did not occur without Jill and Joe KNOWING and at the very least turning a blind eye.
Jill and Joe are NOT on trial for being bad parents. If Jill is there to support the family – rather than intimidate the jurors – Kudos to her – though it is too little too late.
“And she will be by her husband’s side throughout the campaign.”
Because if she is not he will fall over blubbering nonsense and get lots while being escorted by Secret Service agents.
“As for Melania she will probably remain MIA!”
Melania will likely participate as much as she did in 2016, and 2020.
I would note that outside of Cohen nearly every witness in the Manhattan fraud testified that Melania stays out of Trump’s day to day affairs.
But that when she does get involved – SHE is the boss. And that when she is not involved – DJT’s actions ALWAYS factor her in.
I do not know if Trump slept with Daniels – honestly I doubt it – whether you like it or not that case was incredibly weak.
But it does not matter. There is zero doubt that Trump has been unfaithful to his wives.
At the same time – we ARE getting a picture of the Biden Family and the Trump family.
And that picture is NOT good for the Biden’s Trump has had a problem with Fidelity. He has NOT had a problem with Family.
He has been there for all his kids. He has been their for his wives – even the ex wives.
There are not lots of unacknowledge Trump heirs floating arround.
There are no massive paternity fights. There is not lots of near incest.
If Trump’s children have had problems – NONE have reached the massive scale of not just Hunter Biden – but all of the rest of the Biden clan.
Dysfunctional families happen. I have some sympathy for them.
I did not vote for Trump primarily over his treatment of Women. But even that is still head and shoulders over Biden.
But if you are actually asking us to Judge who to vote for based on Family Values – the family that is full of alcoholics drug addicts and hedonists from top to bottom – loses. That would be the Bidens.
Does anyone here actually bother to read these nonsensical posts by this guy.
Long, meaningless, unreadable, disjointed, stream of consciousness collection of completely disconnected thoughts.
Really, really weird stuff !
Bipolar disorder
You should read this one, turdrunner. He demolishes every word Dennis uttered.
I’m not always a big fan of JS, but this post took me exactly 40 seconds to read with comprehension. If thats too much of your time to get to the truth, then i suspect its the truth you have issue with, and not the time.
“And she will be by her husband’s side throughout the campaign.”
The only thing missing is the toddler harness, with her holding the leash.

The idiot-non-savant known as Elvis Big Hands Bug, the Lawn Boy, demonstrates his ignorance one more time.
John Henry Holliday was not a doctor.
I guess he thinks that major league pitchers Dock Ellis and Dwight (Doc) Gooden were also doctors.
Idiot.
However, I would be remiss if I did not also mention Roy Halladay, who was given the nickname Doc, by the Mariners announcer in obvious reference to the Doc Holliday of Tombstone fame.
Halladay was an 8 time All Star, and 2 time Cy Young winner. He pitched a perfect game and a no hitter in 2010, the latter during the playoffs.
Tragically, Halladay died at the age of 40, when he crashed his plane into the Gulf of Mexico, near Port Richey, FL
Some believe that Halladay committed suicide.
Elvis….get help for your depression.
Professor Turley Writes:
“The government has denounced the Russian disinformation–
*****
Russia has stepped up an online disinformation campaign which takes aim at France and the upcoming Paris Olympics, Microsoft said in a blog post, opens new tab published on Sunday.
The campaign, which includes falsified news websites and a feature-length documentary film, is specifically designed to denigrate the reputation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and create the impression that the summer games will be marred by violence, Microsoft said.
“The most worrisome disinformation advanced by pro-Russian actors has sought to impersonate militant organisations and fabricate threats to the Games amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict,” the company said.

………………………………
Russian disinformation is real. And we can expect Russian trolls and hackers to pull out all stops to warp this coming, U.S. election.
^^ DNC troll. Ignore. ^^
Speaking of Russian trolls, the person writing, “Paid DNC troll”, is deserving of great scrutiny.
“is deserving of great scrutiny.”
I guess that’s code for you want to lick his taint while you sniff his shit hole with your nose
Yes they are liable to tell us what Gigi had been screeeeeching…
“I am telling you maga morons, you are way better off now!!!!!”
It looks like the coward, formerly know as turdrunner, is late returning from his glory hole gig in west hollywood.
Welcome back chicken shit. We missed farting all over your useless, unread posts with never clicked on links.
Are you actually holding out the IOC as an organization with a positive reputation ?
I have no idea what “disinformation” the Russians are purportedly putting out regarding the IOC.
It is not like there is not lots of damning truth’s
Should we be concerned about security at the Paris Olympics ?
The Munich Olympics come tom mind.
Regardless – while I have no doubt the Russsians engage in Propganda – just like the US and Biden and the DNC and Republicans and Trump.
The large claims of “Russian disinformation” and the people shilling them have all turned out to be LEFT WING Hoaxes.
Do you understand that today when you say “Russian disinformation” rational people thing “Left wing hoax”
We are being ruled by the mentally insane. Democrats / MSM are insane and suspend reality to win voters like Audrey “my penis exists in my head” Hale who murdered 3 children, 3 adults, and authorities hid her journal for this revelation
Covenant Killer Audrey Hale Wrote 3 Pages in Journal About ‘My Imaginary Penis’
My penis exists in my head. I swear to god I’m a male,” wrote Hale in the diary or journal recovered by police. She then wrote about her desire to have a penis for the purpose of heterosexual sex with a woman.
While the entry is sexually explicit in nature, Hale also wrote about her experience using the name Aiden, which she began using during her transition. Hale explained that using the name on a job application for a delivery position resulted in issues with the company’s background check.
She also described being raised a girl as “torture.” She claimed she feared “being called a dyke or a f*****” during high school before feeling liberated in college and eventually learning about transgenderism in her early 20s.
https://tennesseestar.com/justice/covenant-killer-audrey-hale-wrote-3-pages-in-journal-about-my-imaginary-penis/tpappert/2024/06/06/
Unlike the rest of the lamestream media which consistently, and insanely, insists on referring to Hale as “he” and “him.” Being ruled by the mentally deranged is an apt description of the state of America today, particularly in light of the “Joe Biden” regime. Here is a little of what the inimitable James Howard Kunstler had to say about this morning on his blog:
The most astounding part of America’s “Joe Biden” three-plus-years thrill ride is that the Party of Chaos and Hoaxes was able to pretend until just a few days ago that this political phantasm could run for re-election. Now, regime insiders are forced to confess that they can’t hide it anymore. They spilled the beans as “unnamed sources” this week in a huge Wall Street Journal article. The president is going necrotic in full view of the whole world. His mind is gone. He looks ridiculous when he shuffles in front of the cameras. He utters obvious absurdities and lies. His wife has to lead him around like a dog on a leash. Everyone can see it. He’s got to go. ASAP.
The embarrassing ineptitude has been on view since the 2020 campaign, yet his handlers managed to flimflam half the country ever since, thanks to a news media captured by intel blob gaslighters and to half the country’s susceptibility to mass formation psychosis — fear driven thought disorder — that gave cover to treasonous actors seeking to save their asses even if they had to wreck the USA doing it. Who were these actors? The Clintons and the coterie around them, steeped in financial crime and sex trafficking; the Obama coterie of anti-white racists and bungling Marxists; the batshit-crazy Woke race-and-gender hustlers working to derange the merit-based social order (and get paid for doing it); the congressional grifters living off Pharma and Pentagon loot; the agency top bureaucrats who became a corrupt praetorian guard for all the above players, now desperate to evade accountability.
Everything they’ve done since 2020 has been in the service of covering up their crimes, and each hoax has just compounded the damage done to our country. The Covid-19 prank was pulled to enable mail-in ballot fraud so as to assure a permanent government-by-blob, of which the Democratic Party is now a mere tentacle. We don’t know yet whether the mRNA vaccine module of the prank was a deliberate effort to kill a lot of people or a grievous blunder by greedy drug-makers, or some wicked combo — with assistance from the WEF or China.
That’s about the first 40% but I recommend reading the full thing.
If you substitute say “horse” for Penis, in Hales writings you would recognize Hale as delusional – having a severe mental health problem.
Absent some biological evidence there is no difference between a woman believing she was born a man, and a person believing they are a horse.
Estovir,
And this is why us normal people see this whole transgender thing as a sickness.
Are there some who really are transgender?
Sure.
But studies have shown, the majority grow out of this phase as they get older.
This woman clearly and seriously needed professional, mental help.

Nope. Keep dreaming. According to YouGov poll:
In the wake of former President Donald Trump’s felony conviction last week for falsifying business records to hide a hush money payment to a porn star, President Biden (46%) now leads his Republican rival (44%) in a two-way race for the White House for the first time since October 2023, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.
Americans do not want tax cuts for the wealthiest, cuts to Social Security to pay for the tax cuts, more tariffs, abortions, contraception, IVF and same-sex marriage banned, resources wasted on retribution for the bruised ego of a sociopathic narcissist who is an adjudicated rapist, fraudser and convicted felon, abolishment of the Department of Education, aid to Ukraine taken away, the US pulled out of NATO to allow Putin to take over Eastern Europe and the Baltic states or our government populated by syncophants.
America exists under the dominion of the Constitution not your Communist Manifesto, Sista Comradette.
It’s not what parasites and leeches want, it’s what the Constitution wants.
The entire communistic American welfare state is unconstitutional including, but not limited to, admissions affirmative action, grade-inflation affirmative action, employment affirmative action, quotas, welfare, food stamps, minimum wage, rent control, social services, forced busing, public housing, utility subsidies, WIC, SNAP, TANF, HAMP, HARP, TARP, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Environmental Protection Agency, Agriculture, Education, Labor, Energy, Obamacare, Social Security, Social Security Disability, Social Security Supplemental Income, Medicare, Medicaid, “Fair Housing” laws, “Non-Discrimination” laws, etc.
Article 1, Section 8, provides Congress the power to tax for ONLY debt, defense, and “…general (all, the whole) Welfare…,” omitting and, thereby, excluding any power to tax for individual Welfare, specific Welfare, particular Welfare, favor or charity. The same article enumerates and provides Congress the power to regulate ONLY the Value of money, Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes, and land and naval Forces. Additionally, the 5th Amendment right to private property was initially qualified by the Framers and is, therefore, absolute, allowing no further qualification, and allowing ONLY the owner the power to “claim and exercise” dominion over private property.
Government exists, under the Constitution and Bill of Rights, to provide maximal freedom to individuals while government is severely limited and restricted to merely facilitating that maximal freedom of individuals through the provision of security and infrastructure only.
Get your head out of Karl Marx’s — and read the Constitution of the United States, the U.S. that you’re in – illegally, incidentally, and unfortunately – perhaps that can be remedied.
Gigi only supports numbers if they add to her narrative.
When they go against it, she knows FOR SURE they’re wrong.
Quoting Dem-leaning news sites/ polls for her confirmation bias.
This is typical of our lefty trolls here.
Start with a conclusion and look for evidence to support it.
Typically, its laziness. But she must have had to dig deep for that one, because it is NOT on their website.
Or she went with their other trick.
Just make shit up.
Mostly correct – “According to YouGov poll”
One of the effects of the fraud in Manhattan is that Trump is not leading in EVERY poll – only most of them.
You are free to bet that YouGov is right and everyone else is wrong.
The odds of that are small.
“Americans do not want tax cuts for the wealthiest, cuts to Social Security to pay for the tax cuts, more tariffs, abortions, contraception, IVF and same-sex marriage banned, resources wasted on retribution for the bruised ego of a sociopathic narcissist who is an adjudicated rapist, fraudser and convicted felon, abolishment of the Department of Education, aid to Ukraine taken away, the US pulled out of NATO to allow Putin to take over Eastern Europe and the Baltic states or our government populated by syncophants.”
Mostly correct – but that is not Trump’s platform or his remarks.
Americans want a working economy and they do not care whose taxes need cut to accomplish that.
They do not want inflation – which is the most regressive tax of all.
Both Democrats and Republicans are irresponsibly refusing to address big problems with social security and medicare.
It is a lie to claim Trump wants to cut them. It is a lie that we do not need to do so.
Trump uses Tarrifs as a negotiating tool in foreign policy. So Does Biden. Trump is better at it, and in most cases ultimately gets free trade.
Regardless the american people heavily support tarrifs.
Abortion is now in the hands of the states – not the federal govenrment. Trump has promised he will not sign federal legislation on abortion.
Outside a few loons NO ONE is going after contraception. That said Thomas is correct – it is NOT a federal issue.
The current controlling law on individual rights in healthcare is Buck V Bell – I suggest you read it. It is a PROGRESSIVE supreme court decision from a century ago – one that was cited in upholding all kinds of Covid restrictions.
No one wants IVF bans.
Where there were problems with century old laws suddenly returning post Dobb’s republicans fixed them.
“same-sex marriage banned”
The government should get entirely out of marraige.
Regardless at this time accross the country any person can mary any other person.
There is no effort by Trump and no consequential effort by anyone to change that.
“resources wasted on retribution”
If you did not engage in the “Tit” than you need not worry about the “Tat”.
Trump has disowned retribution. Democrats have whigged out because he has correctly stated that YOUR conduct JUSTIFIES it.
Regardless, it is near certaint hat Republicans as a whole are GOING to engage in the same lawfare that democrats have – until either SCOTUS ends this nonsense or Democrats understand that Mutually Assured Destrction will be the Republican policy against political lawfare.
Republicans are NOT going to allow left wing nuts to continue to be the only party engaged in political lawfare.
“an adjudicated rapist, fraudser and convicted felon”
How better to prove how repugnant you are than to cite the unethical results of lawfare as if they are reality.
“abolishment of the Department of Education”
Great. It is a small and inconsequential department serving no purpose.
In the US education is handled by the states.
“aid to Ukraine taken away”
As soon as a peace deal is stuck.
Voters expect Trump to leverage all kinds of US power and incentives to bring Ukraine and Russia to the table and hammer out a peace that neither likes very much. BTW that is immenently doable.
“the US pulled out of NATO”
No one is proposing that.
But the U already is NO LONGER the SOLE defender of Europe.
And that is how it should be.
Further the responsibility for peace and stablility in Europe and the Middle East is PRIMARILY the responsibility of EUROPE – not the US.
The US is not the worlds policmen.
It is Time for Europe to take the leade regionally and in the parts of the world were Europena security interests are greater than american ones.
That means Europe and the mideast.
We are there to help – not to run the show.
“to allow Putin to take over Eastern Europe and the Baltic states ”
Really ? Putin can not manage Ukraine and you think he can take on Poland or Germany or France ?
You think that the entirety of NATO including the US would not go to war with Putin if he threatened a NATO member state ?
You think that even without the US NATO would allow Russia to pick off smaller nations one by one ?
Russia did not go to war to expand into Europe, it went to War to prevent NATO from coming directly to Russias borders.
Regardless if your takeaway from the Ukraine conflict is that Russia is still a global power you are blind.
Russia is a dying regionable power than no one would care about if they did not have half the worlds nukes.
John Say,
Great take down of Natasha! Well done!
There has been a 10pt swing since 2020 – and Even as the LEFT tells it – Trump very nearly won in 2020.
Trump is near certain to win the popular vote, and all of the swing states and some of a large number of blue states that are implay.
an EC vote of 350 is possible.
But what is most important is that the 2024 election is likely Fraud proof.
That does not mean Fraud will not occur.
Just that it will be MUCH harder to get away with if Trump wins the popular vote,
AND fraud on the scale necescary to win the popular vote is beyond democrats ability to pull off without it being glaringly obvious.
I can understand the various reporters and political commentators who got this so wrong would shrug this off because of their advocacy journalism mindset – win some lose some. I can understand Tony Blinken and other Biden administration appointees shrugging this off because they got the job shilling for the boss. I can understand Biden, as a president, shrugging this off – he got the job. Though I am very disappointed the press, political operatives, and president, what to me is most shocking is with the 50 intelligence officers. These, who had no obvious incentive to lie, used their reputation & aura of patriotism to back up a faulty claim with absolutely no evidence and no effort to obtain evidence. Because the laptop contained numerous emails and texts which can be corroborated by the other parties to the communication, this laptop is essentially self verifying. The fact that one does not hear a single mea culpa from these 50 tells me that these have no honor and any current intelligence product that they had a hand drafting is suspect and ought to be reworked by professionals that truly have the interest of the country.
The mainstream media are Kool-Aid drinking Communists to the very end. Hunter’s laptop in his Delaware trial isn’t even a speed bump for them. The hand-picked jury will acquit him.
Hunter Biden defines his masculinity, his personhood, his role as husband and father as a crack addict for over 20+ years, porn, prostitutes and being a misogynist. No wonder BIden’s DOJ and Democrats / MSM defend him
And then there is remembering the brave men of D-Day.
Remembering when men were men, a dying breed. Great to see these Members of Congress role modeling honor, loyalty, leadership, courage and camaraderie or what the Left call “toxic masculinity”. All Republicans except for one.
NORMANDY, Fr. – U.S. Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., joined nine other veteran congressmen on Thursday in jumping out of a World War II-era plane in Normandy to honor the 80th anniversary of the battle. Mills specifically dedicated the jump to a World War II veteran in his district, Peter Arthur Durante…..The other representatives who participated in the jump included U.S. Reps. Jason Crow, D-Colo., Mike Waltz, R-Fla., Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, Darrell Issa, R-Calif., Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., Rich McCormick, R-Ga., Keith Self, R-Texas, and House Homeland Security Chair Mark Green, R-Tenn.

The picture you paint of masculinity during WWII is largely a facade… WWII, and especially the Norman invasion of France, was an important historical development in the history of the LGBTQ movement. I encourage you to read the books referenced here if you care about historical accuracy: https://www.pacificatrocities.org/blog/ww2-and-the-creation-of-a-queer-culture-the-queer-soldier
Hahahahahah! D-Day is important in the history of LGBTQ? That there is a humdinger!
There is no LGBTQ
There are gay males, lesbian females and cowards who say publicly they straddle the fence and call themselves bi. But in reality they can take a Mack truck up their ass and ask, “are you in yet?”
🏳️🌈🕺🏽✊🏽
Oh looky here! Another craven, cowardly Anonymous Soviet Democrat Birthing Person hopes we will believe the Allies invaded Normandy to set the standards for The Alphabet Sex Pride Parade!
Ooohhh… and they claim that what they want you to read is the REAL historically accurate version of the Allied invasion.
About as funny as the wannabe Roof Top Paratroopers of the Soviet Democrats’ Queers For Palestine.
I encourage you to read the books referenced here if you care about historical accuracy
Was that before or after Joe Biden’s uncle was eaten by cannibals?
thank you in advance for addressing this important information/misinformation/disinformation/itaintgonnalickitself
Cocaine a powerful drug man
Super Freak …Huner Freaky
FBI also has the Anthony Weiner laptop – can’t wait to see what’s on that
The singular American failure is the judicial branch, with emphasis on the Supreme Court.
America is going to heck in a hand basket, and the Supreme Court sits idly by, failing to put America back on the law, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
How in the world did the “judicial system” arrange for the Trump testimony to be prominently displayed and the salacious and incriminating Hunter Biden testimony to be completely screened by full-cycle, wall-to-wall D-Day coverage?
Anti-Federalists were right
Yes, it is a great government conspiracy that the court put Hunter Biden’s trial date on the same day as the anniversary of D-Day!
That’s rich.
That’s a fact.
That’s a rich fact.
Considering all the people he’s fired over the years, Trump’s tailor still keeps his job somehow.
He knows about the secret diaper chamber.
Getting trousers Depend ready is no ordinary feat
Hard to design suits that fit over Depends.
The balloon pants are to avoid showing a Depends line.
Obviously, his tailor worked for The Ringling Brothers Circus at some point in his apprenticeship!!
6 comments in a row by Elvis the Bug.
Really !!!
How can you tell ?????
You are obviously much smarter than me !!!!
Wait, Biden is the comatose zombie who uses Depends. Big surprise, the Left projects again.
Kim Jung Un’s tailor got a job at the WH
Would you want to measure that inseam?
What’s the deal with his right leg? He seems to have a hard time controlling it.
There’s something going on with that right leg. He had to pull himself up and then push off to swing it around. Oh and yes, terrible tailoring.
Last time I saw such a leg movement was when I worked for a shoe store. The guy stood up, made the leg move, and something incredibly nasty and smelly fell on the floor.
I’ve decided he only owns that one suit and I don’t want to think about what it must smell like at this point
Darren Smith, you would go a long way toward cleaning up this site by requiring some form of registration of commenters and by completely eliminating “Anonymous” postings.
George,
I suggested in the past, a paid subscription like format with the money going toward a scholarship like program for the poor.
I would gladly pay into something like that.
He thinks the oversized clothes make him look bigger than he is.
You’d think at 6’3″ 215, he’d want to show off his physique a little more
You’d think cowardly, craven Anonymous Soviet Democrats would be asking how Joe Biden’s tailor does a pretty good job of hiding the two pairs of Depends Bribery Biden wears under his pants. Or that special patented Corrupt Loser Shuffle… is that what the paddle shoes he wears are for?
Not bad, not bad.
Good snarkiness
Not enough vitriol
Could use more personal insults directed at me.
Overall Grade: C+
Try to do better next time
Yikes. Dude looks like he gets his clothes from a guy with a shopping cart under Steve Bannon’s bridge.
When Steve Bannon is your style guide, the staff feels lucky to have found the hefty cut suits at Men’s Warehouse
I think my pillow guy got a metric ton of sheet material and when he went out of business, they just made his suits out of that luxurious Egyptian cotton
His tailor is paid by the yard
He found the one person who can make blue suits out of unpaid invoices and small contractors’ dreams.
Purchasing old couch fabrics and making “pants” is not indicative of him having a tailor.
🎶 Send in the SOROS clowns. There’s got to be SOROS clowns! 🎶
Florida Supreme Court upholds DeSantis suspension of Democratic state attorney
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Supreme Court of Florida upheld Gov. Ron DeSantis’ suspension of former State Attorney Monique Worrell Thursday. DeSantis suspended her in 2023, citing failure to prosecute criminals in the Ninth Judicial Circuit.
Worrell legally challenged the governor’s executive order, saying that the governor’s arguments were vague, and also that DeSantis’ allegations against her simply cover “lawful exercise of prosecutorial discretion,” the court said.
https://flvoicenews.com/florida-supreme-court-upholds-desantis-suspension-of-democratic-state-attorney/
Worrell had a long history of reducing or dropping charges against violent offenders, drug traffickers, serious juvenile offenders, and pedophiles. It was a 6-1 decision to uphold the EO, with the majority writing: “We cannot agree with Worrell that the allegations in the Executive Order are impermissibly vague, nor that they address conduct that falls within the lawful exercise of prosecutorial discretion.”
The lone dissenter wrote that Florida’s DA’s need wide prosecutorial discretion to address challenges in their jurisdictions because Florida is a large state with “varying geographic and cultural influences.” So I guess some cultures and geographic regions of Florida are in favor of violent offenders, drug traffickers, serious juvenile offenders, and pedophiles? Sounds like the typical leftist thought process to me – i.e., mindless.
Worrell is the 2nd Soros DA Governor DeSantis fired, the first was Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren. He also sued the Governor but in Federal Circuit Court and lost. He appealed to Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and won but it was stayed because Florida appealed to the entire 11th Circuit Court of Appeals since the ruling was done by a 3 judge panel. IIRC DeSantis was appealing to SCOTUS as well. Either way, Warren remained out of office but is now running in the election against a female Republican appointed by DeSantis who replaced him
Rots of ruck!
Soros is funding and supporting a form of terrorism against America and our Constitutional Republic. Hand selecting and funding these Marxist zealots into DA positions is an effort to subvert our Constitutional laws. He and his whole organization should be arrested and tried for such, subversion and potentially treason.
trump never ever ever said “lock her up” Her’s proof the great orange god never ever ever lies.
I thought he was a man baby (baby man?), not an orange god.
Wow that was so relevant and interesting I was riveted . . . (yawn) . . . zzzzzzz
Trump won in 2016. Did he lock Hillary up? No. Did he start new investigations? No. Did he fine her? No. Did he raid her house? No.
Now look at the Democrats who did all those things to Trump, except they haven’t yet put him in jail. Look at the Democrats. Look at the people they jailed. Look at mothers who the FBI investigated as terrorists. Look at the Catholics, which the Biden administration is threatening. Look at the Democrat lawyers who threaten to make life miserable for anyone who tries to do his job.
The left is Fascistic.
He investigated the Clinton Foundation literally the entire time he was in office, even when it was clear there was no case.
Here is a news article with a Trump tweet from 2017, documenting his pressure on the DOJ / FBI to launch a new probe into “Crooked Hillary and the Dems”
Any other fake news you want to peddle? How many times a day do you post false statements that can easily be picked apart with 10 seconds of Googling?
Sorry, link: https://www.businessinsider.com/doj-probe-trump-alleged-clinton-corruption-found-nothing-2020-1
So you’re saying Trump’s DOJ investigated alleged corruption by the Clinton Foundation. And? Why is that some earth-shattering revelation?
Do you Stupidly believe that when Trump got into office, he should have closed down investigations already in progress?
What type of a$$ are you? Democrats convicted Trump of a non-crime, and we still don’t know exactly what he was convicted of. I wonder what kind of bookkeeping errors Hillary had from when the Clintons left the White House broke.
S. Meyer,
Well said.
Democrats are the fascists they accuse everyone else of being.
S. Meyer – exactly, and they’re even going after brave doctors who blow the whistle on illegal child mutilation.
https://www.city-journal.org/article/doj-indicts-doctor-who-exposed-the-barbarism-of-gender-affirming-care
People are suffering under this tyrannical regime, years of 8% inflation, out-of-control crime in cities, imminent American bankruptcy due to reckless spending, an illegal invasion of 10,000,000 migrants (many single males of military age from enemy countries), unaffordable grocery prices, and . . . some left-wing Trump-hating dipsh*t wants to complain about “lock her up”? Give me a freakin break!
It seems the person handling the 4473 paperwork did not fill out the form correctly and he may have added information only Hunter should have put. His snarky responses and defiant attitude on the stand will not look good in front of the jury.
Gun stores are known to skirt the rules so they can make a quick sale.
Known by whom? You? Maybe you can disclose your expertise.
Hey JT, How’s that Biden impeachment going?
Why pursue impeachment of a dead lame duck? There will be time for that and more later with a new Republican controlled Congress.
Hunter took several million dollars from the wife of the mayor of Moscow. Where is the Biden Russia Collusion investigation into what Hunter and Joe provided in exchange for those millions of dollars? Did it include some of the top secret documents Joe kept? Which of the 9 Biden family members that got money from Joe, Hunter and Jim’s influence peddling shared in the Russian boodle after it was filtered through the labyrinth of companies designed to hide the source of funds? Did Hunter deposit any of it in the joint bank account he had with Joe that Joe used to remodel his house, among other things?
Weiss seems to be focused on the lurid excess Hunter spent money on, not where it came from and why. Where are Hunter’s FARA charges for failure to register as as agent of foreign governments?
Inquiring minds want to know. But apparently none of them are in our media.
It’s great that the provenance of Hunter Biden’s laptop image has finally been authenticated in Court. Woo hoo.
Isn’t a little bit late for that? When that would have really mattered was before undecided voters cast their 2020 ballots. Some are questioning why I keep proposing to broaden civil torts defamation law to cover public frauds waged by campaigns (and the surrogates). I hear criticisms like “pbinca wants a daily flood of lawsuits and a court on every corner”. Nobody wants that. That’s just lame oppo-branding.
Of course, those who are comfortable winning votes through “any means possible” will never come over to looking at things from the voters’ point of view — deserving a trustworthy infospace leading up to elections. That kind of winning-at-all-costs mentality is exactly what kicked Tony Blinken and Mike Morrell into gear to counter the laptop revelations in NY Post. I guess it’s OK when “my team” lies to win, but a heinous criminal act when the opposition uses fabrications (and my team is in a position to prosecute them). Sure, that’s just what we need to bring the country back together…a brazen double-standard and lawfare.
Before blowing off public frauds lawsuits as a means of taming the campaign infospace, consider that Courts of Law are the only venues having the powers of investigation needed:
• discovery backed by power of subpoena
• testimony sworn under oath
• adversarial presentation and analysis of evidence
• a neutral judge who imposes the schedule
• a jury of 12 Americans as deciders-of-fact
The only drawbacks currently are:
• deceitful infowarfare suits would need fast-due-diligence, so that delay could not be used as a defensive tactic
• removing the Section 230 protection from social media platforms would make them accountable for spreading lies
It’s up to JT what to write about. I appreciate him kicking off discussion of Hunter’s laptop (finally) as a piece of admissible evidence.
What I’m hoping to get him thinking about is response time….what if Blinken and Morrell had been hauled into civil court within a week of pushing out their whopper? What if the true provenance of the disk image had been entered into evidence before the voting, as opposed to now? Could that have made a difference?
In a nutshell, do the 2024 voters deserve to vote equipped with the truth, or under the spell of artful lies? Isn’t this the time to be asking?
JT, I’m waiting for the first s@@tlib to call you a ‘nazi’ for bringing up such inconvenient facts.
As a litigator, I quickly suspected the laptop WAS genuine based on the fact St. Hunter didn’t immediately file a lawsuit for defamation. I would if someone said they had evidence I smoked crack and consorted with prostitutes. Can you imagine Hunter being deposed in such an action? Nothing but crickets…
Reminds me of 1984 where the party keeps saying “Orania is at war with East Asia” until they weren’t. And all down the memory hole, it just never happened.
I wonder if the US attorneys who introduced the laptop will get canceled or suffer professional sanctions? After all wasn’t the laptop Russian disinformation?
Sounds like Hunter’s attornies had a slam dunk 12(b)(6) case to me and should have asked for sanctions after dismissal.
Maybe one our out s@@tlib friends can explain why they didn’t choose to litigate such a case.
