WATCH: MSNBC Guest’s Racial Tirade Against Clarence Thomas, Black Republicans.

On Thursday, MSNBC host Joy Reid laughed as guest Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, delivered a racially charged rant targeting Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas and other black conservatives. During a segment, Reid referred to a report from Fix the Court, alleging that Thomas has received over $4 million in gifts during his Supreme Court tenure.

Mystal claimed that Justice Thomas, along with Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL), and conservative commentator Candace Owens, held their views for monetary gain. “What they’re getting is what Byron Donalds wants. What they’re getting is Jim Crow,” Mystal said. The far-left writer for The Nation added: “What they’re getting is a guy like Clarence Thomas who, like Byron Donalds, believes that as long as [black people] don’t face extreme violence, they can rise above.”

Mystal continued, stating, “If you’re black and you tell white people that, they will give you money.” He claimed that Thomas had been rewarded for echoing the sentiments that white donors wanted to hear. According to Mystal, the Supreme Court Justice received significantly more in gifts compared to his colleagues, with the report suggesting $4 million in gifts over 20 years, while Justice Samuel Alito and the late Justice Antonin Scalia reportedly received around $200,000 each.

Donalds, considered a potential vice-presidential candidate for former President Donald J. Trump, had earlier on Thursday clashed with Reid regarding marital rates in black families. In response to Mystal’s remarks, which ended with a claim that black conservatives profit by reinforcing certain views, Reid commented, “It’s wild,” while shaking her head.

Mystal concluded by asserting that conservative black figures like Scott, Donalds, and Owens exist because “the grift is good.”

Joe Rogan Says People Born Abroad Should Be Able to Be U.S. President.

Podcast host Joe Rogan has argued that banning foreign-born citizens from becoming U.S. President is “Viking s**t,” and that Nigerians and Saudi Arabians should be able to serve as Commander-in-Chief as long as they think “America’s the s**t.”

“I’m one of those people that I don’t give a f**k where you’re born, as long as you’re not actually an undercover terrorist, you know?” Rogan said on a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

“If you’re, like, clearly a regular person that just happened to be born in Nigeria or happened to be born in Saudi Arabia, but now you’re here… You went to school here, you have friends here, you got family here, you love it here, [you think] America’s the s**t—you can be President,” he argued.

“Like, I don’t really think that you have to be born on a certain patch of dirt to run it. That seems like Viking shit. That seems like, that seems so old; that seems so dumb,” he concluded.

Article II Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution asserts: “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.”

‘A TRUMP CHARACTER DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.’

Rogan had been discussing the U.S. elections with Tony Hinchcliffe of the KillTony comedy podcast. The UFC commentator described the “30-second standing ovation” Trump received at a recent UFC event and joked about the former president being endorsed by “so many rappers” following his sham conviction in Manhattan.

Rogan said the Democrats and the Republicans often seem like “the same structure with a different face,” but that “a Trump character does make a difference… because he truly does not give a f**k, and especially now, after all they’ve done to him; all the things he’s survived.”

He arrived at the topic of presidential birthplace requirements after recalling Trump was “beloved, beloved, until he was about 70 years old” and ran for office, though he was “a little bit mocked” during the Barack Obama administration for questioning whether or not the Democrat was born in the United States.

Biden Sends Groveling Apology to Zelensky for Aid Delay.

Joe Biden apologized to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday for the delay in funneling him even more military aid. The Democrat tried to blame the delay on Republican lawmakers before pledging his unwavering support for the proxy war with Russia.

“I apologize for the weeks of not knowing what was going to pass, in terms of funding, because we had trouble getting the bill that we had to pass, that had the money in it,” Biden told Zelensky before a private meeting in Paris. Biden complained “very conservative members were holding it up” but emphasized that his government intends to continue supporting the Ukrainian war machine despite Ukrainian victory having become an increasingly dim prospect in the face of Russian advances.

Zelensky expressed gratitude for Biden’s “significant support,” drawing parallels with U.S. assistance for the European Allies in the 1940s.

“During World War II, the United States helped to save human lives, to save Europe. And we count on your continuing support and standing with us, shoulder to shoulder,” he said. Zelensky has frequently appeared more willing to trigger a Third World War than to negotiate a peace deal, recently demanding NATO warplanes begin flying missions against Russia inside Ukraine.

NO OFF RAMP. 

The meeting, held during ceremonies marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, was the first face-to-face between Biden and Zelensky since December and follows Biden authorizing Ukraine to use U.S. weapons to strike Russia. The Kremlin alleges this has already resulted in deadly attacks on women and children on the Russian side of the border in Belgorod.

Among the Republicans reluctant to continue funding the war is vice presidential contender Senator J.D. Vance. He argues the U.S. military-industrial complex is incapable of supplying the Ukrainians with the shells they need and that nothing the U.S. does can replace its manpower losses.

“[B]oth American and Ukrainian leadership [need] to accept that Mr. Zelensky’s stated goals for the war—a return to 1991 boundaries—are fantastical,” the America First Congressman has said, stressing Biden “has no viable plan for the Ukrainians to win this war.”

BREAKING: NY Judge Merchan Informs Lawyers of ‘My Cousin is a Juror, Trump is Getting Convicted’ Facebook Post Left on NY Court Page, Pre-Verdict.

In a new development in Trump’s Manhattan “hush money” case, Justice Merchan has communicated to the involved parties about an incident involving a comment left on the court system’s Facebook page. The comment, left on May 29, one day prior to Trump’s conviction, reads: “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted 🎉 Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!! ❤️”

The fact that the judge has written to the involved parties may indicate truth to the inside knowledge of the poster. The letter from Justice Merchan reads, in full:

Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, “Michael Anderson,” states:

The comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding. The posting, entitled “The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, will hear oral arguments this morning at \0,” and the comment are both viewable at https://www. facebook.com/NewYorkCourts/.

 

The comment was no longer visible when checked by The National Pulse.

Theoretically, if the comment is found to be true and a juror was discussing the verdict of the case with their cousin, Justice Merchan could rule a mistrial. Given his record of rulings against Trump and his daughter’s financial stake in the case, this is unlikely.

Ketanji Hauls $1.5M in ONE YEAR, But Media FREAKS Over Clarence Thomas’s $100K.

Left-wing activists and Democrats seeking to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court have repeatedly attacked Justice Clarence Thomas over allegations that he received $4 million in gifts over the past 33 years on the bench. However, these activists are ignoring the lucrative secret incomes being raked by the more liberal wing of the court, including its newest and most progressive member, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

As revealed in recent financial disclosures, U.S. Supreme Court justices reported a collective $1.5 million in book income last year. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the highest earner from book advances, receiving $893,750 for her forthcoming memoir. That marks a nearly $1 million earning in a single year, compared to Justice Thomas, who has been under unrelenting pressure for $4 million in alternative earnings over a period of 33 years—or just over $100,000 per year.

Other valuable items and side income received by justices include concert tickets and royalties from voiceover work on children’s television programming. Justice Brett Kavanaugh reported $340,000 for what the court described as a “legal memoir.” Both Justices Neil Gorsuch and Sonia Sotomayor also reported minor earnings from book income.

Justice Jackson also reported receiving four concert tickets from singer Beyonce, valued at $3,712, and two artworks for her chambers valued at $12,500. Justice Samuel Alito, following his usual practice, obtained a 90-day extension to file his report.

Sotomayor reported earning $1,879 from Fred Rogers Productions for her voiceover work on the children’s animated show “Alma’s Way.” Additionally, three justices reported income from teaching engagements. Gorsuch earned $29,798 from George Mason University, followed by Kavanaugh with $25,000 from the University of Notre Dame Law School. Justice Amy Coney Barrett received $14,947 from Notre Dame Law School.

FBI Colluded with Dem Staffers Ahead of Whistleblower Hearing.

Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch reveal that an FBI official communicated with House Democrat staffers ahead of a congressional hearing with FBI whistleblowers. “These troubling records show how the FBI colluded with Democrats hostile to FBI whistleblowers who were set to testify to Congress,” Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, said in a statement.

The legal watchdog group initially sued Joe Biden‘s Department of Justice (DOJ) when it failed to respond to the FOIA request. Their request sought “all records of communication between any official or employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and any member of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, any staff member for the subcommittee, or any staff member for any subcommittee member between April 1, 2023, and the present.” Following the lawsuit, the Biden DOJ provided the requested documents.

These documents were released just as the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government prepared for a significant hearing involving three FBI whistleblowers: Steve Friend, Garrett O’Boyle, and Marcus Allen. Prior to this hearing, the FBI had revoked the security clearances of the three agents. However, Marcus Allen’s clearance was eventually reinstated.

One of the released documents includes an email from Damon Marx, senior counsel in the office of Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), to an unidentified FBI Office of Congressional Affairs official. In the email, Marx references a previous conversation and thanks the official for providing documents that were reportedly beneficial to Rep. Goldman. “We would love to meet in person next time you have the chance. Please let us know when you’re available for coffee or just to swing by the office. And don’t hesitate to reach out on any other matters!” the email read.

WaPo Chides Its Own Retired Reporters for Failing to Harass Justice Alito.

The Washington Post has published a lengthy article berating former Supreme Court reporter Robert Barnes for doing his due diligence and declining to report the Alito flag hoax as if it was a legitimate news story, robbing the newspaper of a “precious exclusive.”

Barnes, now retired, was aware of Justice Samuel Alito’s wife flying a U.S. flag upside down in 2021—an incident being pushed as earth-shattering news years after the fact as the corporate media attempts to influence Supreme Court rulings on Donald Trump and January 6 defendants. Instead of rushing to report the display as proof the Alitos supported the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement, as the corporate media are doing today, Barnes actually did his job, discovering it was the result of a neighbor dispute.

WaPo media critic Erik Wemple is now blasting Barnes and his editors for not running the story, eventually published by The New York Times, regardless of the facts, complaining, “The Alitos received deference to which they were not entitled.”

FACTS (DON’T) MATTER. 

Wemple reached this conclusion despite Barnes telling him “We determined that it wasn’t the justice that flew the flag upside down and we determined it wasn’t a protest about the election or something else on the part of Mrs. Alito.” Barnes told Wemple he corroborated this based on Martha-Ann Alito’s “actions when I saw her and what others in the neighborhood had told me.”

Mrs. Alito flew the upside-down flag in response to some of their neighbors putting up crass signs reading “F**k Trump,” “Trump Is a Fascist,” and—addressing the Alitos—’You Are Complicit.’ Wemple fumed Barnes had not gone to the couple for their side of the story, though they have never denied erecting the signs.

Wemple also acknowledges upside-down flags were not closely associated with ‘Stop the Steal’ at the time of the incident, and that contemporary managing editor Cameron Barr said the decision not to a run a story was a matter of “consensus.”

Trump: ‘Revenge Takes Time, and Can Be Justified.’

Former President Donald J. Trump told celebrity psychologist Dr. Phil that “revenge can be justified,” while discussing retribution against his political opponents in a set piece interview this week.

Trump, 77, recalled his decision not to pursue Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election. “How would it be [if] I win and I lock Hillary Clinton up? The former president’s wife… I didn’t want to do that,” Trump said.

“I could’ve done that pretty easily. She busted up her phones and she busted up her laptops… She disobeyed a subpoena, and she broke up all this machinery, all this technology, after she got the subpoena,” he observed. However, he “hated” the idea of actually having her imprisoned because he “wanted to bring the country together… through success.”

“Now, the difference is, they’re trying to do it to me, and maybe you could feel different about it, but I don’t feel differently. Retribution is going to be through success,” he added.

However, when Dr. Phil put it to him that he would be too busy to “get even,” the former president warned: “Well, revenge does take time, I will say that. And sometimes revenge can be justified, Phil. I have to be honest.”

AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY. 

Trump’s comments come as he faces a prison sentence in Manhattan. The authorities are also ordering War Room host Stephen K. Bannon to report to prison in July—a move Trump describes as an “American Tragedy.”

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, wants conservatives to stop being so passive in the face of Democrat lawfare and fight fire with fire. Too many, he says, are rolling over with an attitude of, “Where does it say in this rulebook that we’re allowed to fight back?”

“The way you deal with a sickness is not to wag your finger at it… it needs eviscerating,” Kassam stressed.

READ – Rep. Gaetz Skewers Bannon Jail Ruling.

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) blasted U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichol’s ruling that former Trump advisor Steven K. Bannon must begin his four-month prison sentence even while his case continues to work its way through the appeals process. Bannon was convicted in July 2022 on two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoenas issued by the Democrat-controlled January 6 Committee.

“It is with great sadness and anger that we observe the death of the judicial system in America,” Gaetz wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The Flordia Republican continued: “Steve Bannon sought judicial review of the illegal demands of a runaway congressional committee, unlike any ever comprised. It was literally a matter of first impression. And they’re sending him to prison – not just to torture him but to torture us.”

“He didn’t even get a real trial. His defenses were stripped by a judge who hates him,” Gaetz added, concluding: “The ramifications of these actions will reverberate in a very dark way for a long time.”

The Florida Congressman stated that he’s pushed Republican House leaders to “advance legislation to expunge these contempt proceedings” for Bannon, former Trump trade policy advisor Peter Navarro, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Meadow’s deputy Dan Scavino. Unfortunately, Gaetz says House leadership has refused, citing that they do not have the votes for passage.

“We need stronger leaders,” Rep. Gaetz said before adding: “November can’t come soon enough.”

The BBC Has Spent £3,000,000 of Public Cash Investigating Its Own Staff for Sex Offenses.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has incurred over £3.1 million (almost $4M) in costs related to investigating alleged misconduct by former DJ Tim Westwood. A former BBC Radio 1 and BBC 1Xtra DJ, Westwood, denied engaging in any wrongdoing, stating: “It’s all false allegations.”

The review, launched in August 2022, is scrutinizing the BBC’s knowledge of and response to complaints and concerns regarding Westwood’s behavior during his two-decade tenure. Investigators have reviewed over 50,000 documents, including both oral and written testimony.

Led by Gemma White KC, the inquiry aims to address claims from several women accusing Westwood of predatory and unwanted sexual behavior between 1992 and 2017. Some allegations include incidents with women under 18, with one woman stating she was 14 when she first had sex with the DJ. The Metropolitan Police have interviewed Westwood four times in connection with the allegations. Though Westwood has been interviewed under caution, no arrests have been made.

The BBC’s external review, initially expected to conclude in six months, remains ongoing. Ms. White announced a call for evidence in October 2022, and the review team was later joined by safeguarding expert Jahnine Davis. Despite the extended timeline, White emphasized the necessity for thorough document examination and information gathering.

A confidential hotline was launched for a few weeks in April 2023 to assist with the review. The BBC says it intends to ensure a comprehensive understanding of what was known about Westwood’s conduct during his employment. Westwood stepped down from his show on Capital Xtra in April 2022 but continues to perform at various venues nationwide. In light of the allegations, some campaigners have urged nightclubs to avoid hosting him.
