Biden Uses Notecards, Scripted Q&As in Closed-Door Fundraisers.

Democrat donors are raising concerns about Joe Biden’s heavy reliance on notecards during closed-door fundraisers.

The 81-year-old Democrat has excluded cameras from recent fundraising events, and his team has reporters ushered out before prescreened donors question him. These reportedly involve just “two or three questions vetted by the president’s staff,” with Biden reading the responses from detailed notecards written by his staff.

Biden exacerbated the widespread concerns over his mental fitness at a previous, televised fundraiser, in which he claimed he spoke to “[President François] Mitterand from Germany, I mean France” about January 6th at the G7 summit in 2021, despite the Frenchman having been dead for close to 30 years.

He corrected himself at a subsequent fundraiser, which was not televised, identifying the French president as Emmanuel Macron, but pool reporters said he instead got the Chancellor of Germany wrong, identifying him as Helmut Kohl — out of office since the 1990s and dead since 2017.

This was followed by the release of the Hur report on Biden’s mishandling of classified material, which described him as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” unable to remember when he was Vice President or when his son Beau died in investigatory interviews.

Fani Willis Sued Over Concealment Of White House Meeting Records.

America First Legal (AFL) is suing the office of Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis. The lawsuit, filed by the conservative legal group, alleges the district attorney’s office illegally concealed communications with the White House regarding the state RICO prosecution against former President Donald Trump.

According to the filing, Steven Richards — an investigative reporter for Just The News — filed an Open Records Request with the district attorney’s office in mid-January. Requested were “all records of meetings between District Attorney Fani Willis, special prosecutor Nathan Wade, or any other staff of the District Attorney’s Office with any White House or federal Department of Justice officials both in Georgia and the District of Columbia from Jan. 1, 2021 to the present [and] all communications between DA Willis or special prosecutor Wade with White House or Department of Justice officials from Jan. 1, 2021 to the present.”

On February 12th of this year, Willis‘s office responded with a letter stating they “did not maintain records responsive to your request.” The letter, however, contradicts statements made by an attorney with the district attorney’s office during a January 25th hearing before Judge Scott McAfee. When asked by the judge if there were written communications between Willis’s office and the White House Counsel, the attorney acknowledged at least two letters existed.

“Georgia law recognizes that ‘open government is essential to a free, open, and democratic society.’ It encourages public access to government records so citizens may evaluate the efficient and proper functioning of its institutions,” said Reed D. Rubinstein, AFL’s senior vice president. He added, “Here there is substantial evidence that the Fulton County District Attorney’s office has ceased to function properly; the requested records must be produced.”

Nancy Mace: Kevin McCarthy is ‘Bored’, ‘A Complete Loser Who Needs A Job.’

Congressman Nancy Mace (R-SC) has told POLITICO that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is “a complete loser” who is “bored” and “doesn’t know what to do with himself.”

“The former speaker needs to get a job. I think that’s the problem,” Mace said during a podcast interview with POLITICO’s Ryan Lizza.

“And you know what? … He’s a complete loser,” she added. “He couldn’t keep his job as speaker, and he quit on the Republican Party. He quit his job. He put our majority at risk.”

McCarthy, she says, is going to facilitate her primary opponent spending millions of dollars against her. Mace was one of the so-called “Gaetz 8” who helped oust McCarthy from the speakership last year.

Asked for her South Carolina prediction, Mace said: “[Trump is] going to win by a huge margin. I’m going to say 25-28 [points], somewhere in there.”

Was Liz Truss Really Ousted By the Deep State?

Liz Truss, the shortest-reigning British prime minister in history, claimed her 49-day tenure was terminated by “the deep state” ahead of her appearance at Matt Schlapp’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Writing for Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, Truss claimed: “In too much of the free world, the left has been in charge for too long and the results are all too plain to see,” adding that the “deep state” stopped her from implementing her tax cut plan.

But Truss, 48, was hand selected by the “deep state” doyen, former Prime Minister and now Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron. Truss, originally a Liberal Democrat, has held ministerial offices in the British government since 2012, meaning she literally is “the left” that “has been in charge for too long,” in her country.

And Truss was not only a fixture within the British government for about as long as ex-PM Tony Blair, who held government office from May 2nd, 1997, to June 27th, 2007, but she also used her role to be a strong proponent of the “woke” policies she now pretends to decry during her whirlwind book tour of America.

Truss repeatedly pushed Britain’s own version of the Green New Deal, demanding her government “tackle climate change,” and forcing up energy prices for ordinary Britons. She campaigned strongly against Brexit in 2016, and served almost three years as Minister for Women and Equalities – a “woke” role at the heart of the British government.

Indeed, Truss was at the forefront of propagating gender ideology at the state level, marking “International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia,” while hosting conferences on LGBT priorities, and pushing a ban on so-called conversion therapy, including “spiritual” therapies offered to willing Christians.

After her short stint as Prime Minister, Truss continued and continues to push neoconservative policy on Ukraine, declaring there must be “no concessions” and “no deals” to make peace.

So no, Liz Truss wasn’t ousted by the deep state. She is the deep state.

YOU Paid $8.5M for Govt-Produced Podcasts Promoting Far-Left Views.

Between February 2020 and September 2023, the federal government assigned $8.5 million to produce at least 58 podcasts, many promoting left-wing views. The finding was made by the taxpayer watchdog OpenTheBooks.com, which said the amount was part of an extensive $323.7 million expenditure on overarching projects that incorporated these podcasts. Both domestic and foreign entities received the funds.

Organizations such as the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) were the primary funding sources. The podcasts, which covered many topics such as history, art, literature, science, and religion, received their own shares, with several promoting far-left progressive themes.

A few of the funded podcasts include a $227,420 linguistics program that delved into the use of a new gender-neutral pronoun in Swedish and a $228,546 program that discussed the recent history of Queens during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the Black Lives Matter movement and ‘racism.’

Another project was a $5,000 podcast sponsored by the State Department that tackles issues affecting the trans and intersex community in Zimbabwe and a $556,544 initiative from the National Science Foundation featuring pandemic-related content for children.

One $370,000 podcast on Southern history featured an episode titled, “Bedfellows Forever: How 19th-century male romantic friendships queer our understanding of historical masculinity.”

Founder of OpenTheBooks.com, Adam Andrzejewski, questioned the allocation of taxpayer money to these projects, referring to it as a “podcast tax.”

WATCH: Tucker Carlson Says Boris Johnson Demanded $1M for Interview.

Tucker Carlson says former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson demanded $1 million in exchange for an interview. According to the former Fox News host, he was prompted to reach out to Johnson with an interview offer after the British politician denounced Calrson for interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I’m over in Moscow, I’m waiting to do this interview, it gets out that we’re doing it and I’m immediately denounced by this guy called Boris Johnson,” Carlson said during an appearance on BlazeTV’s The Glenn Beck Podcast, adding: “Boris Johnson calls me a tool of the Kremlin or something… I was annoyed. So I put in a request for an interview with Boris Johnson.”

After working through intermediaries to contact Johnson, Carlson said he received a response from one of the former Prime Minister’s advisors stating Johnson would require $1 million in exchange for the interview. “Finally, one of his advisors gets back to me and says, ‘He will talk to you, but it’s going to cost you a million dollars,'” Carlson told Beck, noting that the advisor suggested payment in gold or Bitcoin.

He added: “And I said to the guy, you know I just interviewed Vladimir Putin – I’m not defending Putin — but Putin didn’t ask for a million dollars. So you’re telling me that Boris Johnson is a lot sleazier… than Vladimir Putin.”

Johnson is believed to have scuttled a possible early peace deal between Russia and Ukraine — allegedly at the behest of the Biden government. The allegations against Johnson were backed up by Putin, who told Carlson during their interview that Johnson allegedly dissuaded Davyd Arakhamia, leader of Ukraine’s ruling party, from signing the peace accord. He suggested a preliminary agreement had been reached in Istanbul after direct negotiations with Ukrainian officials.

Letitia James Threatens to Seize Trump Tower.

Democrat New York Attorney General Letitia James has said she will ask Judge Arthur Engoron, who has donated thousands of dollars to the Democratic Party, to seize Donald Trump’s assets if he does not pay a $355 million fine.

“If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,” James told ABC.

Judge Engoron’s law clerk and “co-judge,” Allison Greenfield, attended Democrat events endorsing AG James and Joe Biden, and his wife published vulgar social media posts attacking Trump and his lawyer, Alina Habba, during the New York trial.

ABC posited to James that Trump’s alleged fraud had “no victim, no one got harmed, the banks got paid back, so no harm no foul.”

James had no substantive answer to this, simply stating that “financial frauds are not victimless crimes” — despite the judgment against the former president being civil, not criminal.

Trump insists there was no fraud, that he undervalued rather than overvalued his assets when applying for bank loans, and that Engoron accepted questionable valuations of his assets.

There has been heavy criticism of an $18 million valuation of his Mar-a-Lago estate — which sold for the equivalent of $70 million in 1981 — in particular.

Senator Tells Kamala to Come Preside Over Mayorkas Impeachment Trial.

Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla) has written to Vice President Kamala Harris inviting her to preside over the Senate trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whom the House of Representatives impeached for having “willfully and systematically refused to comply with Federal immigration laws” and “breached the public trust.”

Scott noted that while Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer wants President Pro Tempore Patty Murray to preside over the Cuba-born Homeland Security Secretarty’s trial, it would be constitutionally proper for Harris to do so in her official role as President of the Senate.

Scott further noted that Joe Biden appointed Harris as his “border czar” in 2021, so she should be “keenly interested in learning whether a high-ranking member of your administration” is one of the “root causes” of the border crisis she promised to tackle.

“Our states and cities face an ongoing and widespread crisis due to the flood of illegal immigrants streaming across our southern and northern borders and moving freely within the interior of the homeland. As the President of the Senate, you are the appropriate constitutional presiding officer to oversee the impeachment trial,” Scott concluded.

Kyrsten Sinema Has Spent Over $200K of YOUR MONEY on Private Jets.

Sen. Krysten Sinema (I-AZ) has spent $200,000 on private charter flights since 2020, racking up $116,000 in private flight expenses in 2023 alone with U.S. taxpayers footing the bill. The Arizona Senator has also tapped campaign funds to pay for additional travel expenses and hotel stays — along with shelling out $100,000 a month for private security. Sinema’s excessive spending has fueled speculation she may not seek re-election in 2024. She hasn’t held a public town hall event with constituents in nearly four years.

Before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018, Sinema pushed legislation in the House of Representatives that would limit the use of public funds by lawmakers for first-class and private air travel. “Arizonans are sick and tired of seeing Washington bureaucrats use their hard-earned tax dollars for personal gain,” she said at the time.

The unusual amount of travel spending, combined with sluggish campaign fundraising numbers, suggests Sinema may be retiring from public office and merely ‘cashing in’ while she still can. In 2023, the Senator’s campaign footed the bill for nearly $3000 in travel costs for a trip Sinema took to Europe. FEC rules stipulate campaigns can pay for a candidate’s travel expenses if the trip is for fundraising purposes. Sinema often includes a small fundraising event with her travel in order to comply with campaign finance law.

Sinema isn’t the only lawmaker raising eyebrows with their expense disclosures. Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) campaign dolled out $20,000 for “gifts” and over $430,000 for travel in 2023. According to FEC filings, his campaign spent $13,000 on overseas travel and $350,000 on travel outside of California. Swalwell, famous for having slept with a Chinese spy, spent $54,000 in campaign funds on childcare.

WATCH: Pelosi Floats New Russiagate Conspiracy Theory.

In an interview on MSNBC, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin is blackmailing former President Donald Trump.

Pelosi’s comment came during an interview with former Biden back-circler Jen Psaki on Monday. “I don’t know what [Putin] has on [Trump], but I think it’s probably financial,” she said. “It is probably financial. It’s either something financial he has on him or something on the come, something that he expects to get.”

According to Pelosi, Trump, whom she struggled to recall by name, has “brought disgrace” to the White House, failing to uphold his oath to defend the nation and its Constitution. She further questioned his financial integrity by insinuating impending “political indictments” against him.

Pelosi also hinted that Trump was encouraging Putin to invade unspecified member nations of NATO. She asserted, “NATO is there to stop Russia, to keep Russia out.” It’s worth noting that Ukraine, recently in global headlines due to tensions with Russia, is not part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The House Speaker did not elaborate on which countries she was referring to.

This interview echoes previous controversial comments from former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who Trump’s admiration for Putin. These assertions are part of the larger “Russiagate” narrative, which encompasses allegations of Russian interference in U.S. elections, though substantial evidence supporting these claims has yet to be corroborated.
