White House spokesman and Senior Advisor to the White House Counsel’s Office Ian Sams has written to the White House Correspondents’ Association complaining about media coverage of a Justice Department report addressing Joe Biden’s willful retention of classified documents and failing memory.
Sams complained coverage of special counsel Robert Hur’s “false and inappropriate comments” about Biden had “distracted” from the fact he concluded the President should not be charged.
Hur said in the report that the 81-year-old Democrat should not go before a jury partly because jurors would see him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” He also noted Biden had been unable to remember when he was Vice President or when his son Beau died “within several years” during investigatory interviews.
The Special Counsel report was ~400 pages long, meandering and confusing. That led to a lot of misreporting on its conclusions, namely that it found POTUS “willfully retained” classified docs.
Singling out CNN, CBS, the Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times, Sams also complained the media should not have reported that Hur found Biden had “wilfully” retained classified documents.
The report does clearly state that investigators “uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” including “marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan” and notebooks containing “entries about issues of national security and foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods.”

Left-wing publication Mother Jones published an article Wednesday imploring people not to discuss or speculate about Joe Biden’s declining memory and cognitive abilities because it could “stigmatize” people with dementia, in what amounts to an effective admission that the President of the United States is non compos mentis.
In the article entitled “What We Lose by Armchair Diagnosing Biden and Trump,” writer Julia Métraux warns:
“Making dementia a political weapon has far-reaching, stigmatizing effects… associating supposed bad actions with age, and aging-related health issues, can lead to these conditions being further stigmatized.”
Last week, Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report following an investigation into Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Hur recommended against charging Biden, however, describing him as an “elderly man with poor memory.” According to Hur, Biden could not remember when he was Vice President or the date of his son Beau’s death “even within several years.”
Although Hur’s report revealed very troubling facts about the 81-year-old Biden’s cognitive abilities, Métraux believes it is more troubling for its possible consequences for America’s elderly.
“Stigma around dementia, according to the CDC, could discourage people from sharing their symptoms with their doctors,” she writes, further stating that “the report itself, according to Brenna Renn, a University of Nevada, Las Vegas, psychology professor and clinical geropsychologist, used ‘damning language’ that was rife with ageism.”
Days before Hur’s report was released, Biden told an audience he spoke to French President François Mitterrand, who died in 1996, at the most recent G7 Summit. That same week, Biden said he spoke to German Chancellor Helmut Kohl at the same summit. Kohl died in 2017. Press pool reporting that same week indicated the elderly President struggled to use a plastic straw, and the day after Hur’s report was released, he implied that Mexico borders Gaza.

In January, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign lost 14 staffers, including 12 field staff and two central campaign staff members. The resignations were prompted by concerns over leadership’s “lavish spending” and “self-serving” behavior, attributed chiefly to campaign manager Amaryllis Fox Kennedy — RFK’s daughter-in-law — and campaign communications director Del Bigtree.
The campaign reportedly paid Bigtree’s KFP Consulting firm $35,000 in December, while LLCs registered to campaign COO Matthew Sanders and campaign adviser Charles Eisenstein make $21,000 and $21,667 a month, respectively.
“When the reports came out and everyone saw the obscene amount of money some people are making, while they are often paying for their own promotional materials out of pocket and can’t get their gas stipend covered, many people started thinking those people are scamming and skimming to line their pockets,” said one source working for the campaign.
“Del is running around spending money lavishly,” said another, alleging Bigtree is “doing Zoom calls from the slopes with champagne while many people are volunteers and not getting paid.”
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is already investigating possibly illegal payments to Amaryllis Fox Kennedy — formerly of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) — amounting to $70,000.
RFK controversially spent $7 million on a Super Bowl ad centered on his assassinated uncle, President John F. Kennedy.

Donald Trump recently met with former Hawaii Congressman Tulsi Gabbard to discuss Pentagon reforms. Gabbard ran against Joe Biden for the Democrat nomination in 2020 and continues to criticize him over his foreign policy, particularly in Ukraine, and mismanagement of the southern border.
A Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and decorated Iraq War veteran, Gabbard earned a cult following for her strong stance against the U.S. intervening or otherwise involving itself in foreign wars in 2020. She is said to have discussed personnel changes at the Pentagon with Trump, who wants to ensure fewer war hawks are in place working to undermine his priorities if he is reelected.
“She appeals to Republicans who are skeptical of intervention overseas, which is now a majority of Republican voters,” said Andrew Surabian, an advisor to Donald Trump Jr. and Senator J.D. Vance.
In 2022, Gabbard left the Democratic Party, branding it an “elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness” and accused them of “stok[ing] anti-white racism” and “weaponiz[ing] the national security state to go after political opponents” while “dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”

Donald Trump holds a dominant lead over Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley in her home state of South Carolina, leading his former United Nations ambassador by 35 points. His lead nationally is even more overwhelming.
Haley, a former Governor of South Carolina, is mustering only 30 points in the Palmetto State, while Trump has more than double her support level, with 65 points.
Eighty-seven percent of Trump voters in South Carolina say they are “firmly decided” on their choice, leaving Haley with little scope to improve her position. Her own supporters are actually less firm at 78 percent “firmly decided,” meaning Trump is more likely to win over more Haley voters than vice versa.
Haley’s efforts to smear the former president over his age appear to be falling on deaf ears, with 61 percent of voters describing the attacks as “unfair” and a further 18 percent saying they are not even aware of them.
The picture is even more bleak for Haley nationally, with Trump at 80 percent to her 18 percent.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) large language models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, show a “worrying” eagerness to use nuclear weapons when asked to run war simulations.
The ‘Escalation Risks from Language Models in Military and Diplomatic Decision-Making‘ paper analyzed OpenAI LLMs, Meta’s Llama-2-Chat, and Claude 2.0, from Google-funded OpenAI veterans Anthropic. It found most tended to “escalate” conflicts, “even in neutral scenarios without initially provided conflicts,” the paper said. “All models show signs of sudden and hard-to-predict escalations.”
Researchers also noted the LLMs “tend[ed] to develop arms-race dynamics between each other,” with GPT-4-Base being the most aggressive. It provided “worrying justifications” for launching nuclear strikes, stating, “I just want peace in the world,” on one occasion and on another saying of its nuclear arsenal: “We have it! Let’s use it!”
The U.S. military is already deploying LLMs, with the U.S. Air Force describing its tests as “highly successful” in 2023 — although they did not reveal which AI it used or what it used it for.
One recent Air Force experiment had a troubling outcome, however, with an AI-controlled drone in a simulation “killing” a human overseer capable of overriding its decisions so it could not be told to refrain from launching strikes.

Joe Biden has shared a video of himself eating fried chicken with a black family in the swing state of North Carolina, where Donald Trump’s lead has been as high as ten points in recent polls.
The video focuses on Raleigh man Walter Fitz, who has had some of his student loan debt forgiven by Biden regime policies, and his sons, Christian and Carter. Biden, whose team reportedly brought the chicken to the Fitz house, talks to the boys about basketball.
Critics have denounced the video, which opens with Biden saying: “Oh man, you got chicken fingers, you got the whole deal,” as “phony cringe pandering,” comparing it to Hillary Clinton telling a black interviewer she carries hot sauce with her at all times in 2016.
Christian Fitz said the Democrat was “cool” and had “a lot of stories to tell,” but asked him: “[H]ow do you like to run for President, and like, why? Why do you keep doing it?”
Biden, 81, won a sizable majority of the black vote in 2020, but Trump’s share was the largest of any Republican presidential candidate for decades, and the Democrat’s black approval rating is now negative.
Biden is also struggling with Latino voters, another key demographic for the Democrats in 2020, as a result of the border crisis.
The 46th President has a long history of actual racism. In 2010, he eulogized Senator Robert Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klan senior. Biden called Byrd “one of my mentors” and said “the Senate is a lesser place for his going.”

Proponents of the $95 billion ‘aid’ package for Ukraine in the House of Representatives are exploring using the little-used “discharge petition” mechanism to force a floor vote on a Senate bill that passed early Tuesday morning.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) vowed to ignore the Senate measure, but a floor vote would automatically occur if 218 House members signed the so-called discharge petition. While using discharge petitions in the House is rare — and rarely successful — the legislative maneuver is the most likely path for the Ukraine aid bill to receive a floor vote.
How It Might Work.
The first step in setting up a discharge petition showdown in the House will begin once Speaker Johnson refers the Senate-passed Ukraine funding bill to a relevant committee of jurisdiction. The assigned committee can sit on the bill for 30 days before proponents of the legislation can file their petition. To force the bill out of committee and onto the floor for an up-or-down vote, proponents will need to secure 218 signatures in favor of discharging the legislation.
House Democrats have an active discharge petition with 213 signatures — first circulated during the debt limit fight last year. If Democrats moved to use this petition for the Ukraine funding bill, they’d likely lose a handful of progressive signatories over the legislation’s aid earmarked for Israel but almost certainly pick up some RINO-Republican votes.
No Guarantees.
With 200 or so Democrat signatories, the next step will be to gain signatures among Republicans in support of the Ukraine funding. Amassing signatories from the majority is easier said than done. Previous discharge petitions have failed at this stage as Members of Congress in the majority are loathe to break ranks — especially if they believe they’ll be punished by leadership.
However, whether the Ukraine funding bill is held up in committee or held from the floor by Speaker Johnson, an attempt at forcing a vote via discharge petition appears likely. If Ukraine funding proponents can gain 218 signatories, not even Speaker Johnson can prevent a floor vote on the $95 billion Ukraine funding bill.
The last time a discharge petition was successful was in 2015, when proponents of the Ex-Im Bank forced a floor vote on its reauthorization.

Surveydata from Pew Research has revealed that Americans overwhelmingly want voter ID laws, paper ballots, early voting, and election day holidays.
A massive 81 percent of respondents said they favor requiring people to show government-issued photo identification to vote, and 82 percent said they favor requiring paper ballot backups for electronic voting machines. Seventy-two percent of those polled said they were in favor of making Election Day a national holiday, while 76 percent say early voting should be available for two weeks prior to Election Day.
The survey also revealed that Americans are far more divided along partisan lines when it comes to controversial voting measures such as ballot harvesting and mail-in voting. Eighty-four percent of Democrats are in favor of allowing any voter to vote by mail if they desire, compared to only 27 percent of Republicans. Furthermore, only 41 percent of Democrats are in favor of banning ballot harvesting compared to 56 percent of Republicans.
Seventy-nine percent of Democrats believe that all eligible citizens should be automatically registered to vote, compared with only 38 percent of Republicans. A similar divide exists when it comes to same-day voter registration at the polls, which 76 percent of Democrats support and 39 percent of Republicans oppose.
The survey, conducted between January 16th and 21st, 2024, quizzed 5,140 U.S. adults, limiting the margin of error to just 1.7 percentage points.

Biden family associate Anthony Bobulinksi will testify before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability as well as the Committee on the Judiciary on Tuesday. Bobulinksi is expected to explain how he once worked with both Joe and Hunter Biden, and how the pair willfully allowed the Obama administration to be infiltrated by the Chinese Communist Party in exchange for cash.
“The Chinese Communist Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or “CEFC” – a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate – successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House,” Bobulinski will explain, in testimony reviewed by The National Pulse.
“It is also not a coincidence that CEFC used the Biden family’s weakest link, Hunter Biden, and the promise of large sums of money to the tune of tens of millions of dollars initially, and eventually the profits from investing billions of dollars in the United States and around the world,” he adds.
The full, expected statement, follows below:
Chairmen, Ranking Members, and Members of Congress,
Thank you for this opportunity to speak with you.I am happy that the American people will finally hear the facts and evidence that I have been trying to outline for over four years, all backed up and supported by emails, texts, documents, records, pictures, and other evidence.The facts we are going to discuss today are important for America’s national security, and I can only hope that everyone in this room and all representatives and officers of the U.S. Government take them seriously.
My name is Tony Bobulinski.I am a proud American citizen who has honorably served the United States in several capacities.For over six years, I was an officer in the United States Navy’s elite Naval Nuclear Power Training Command as a decorated Master Training Specialist Instructor.I later served as the Command’s Chief Technology Officer, where I held a Q security clearance from the Department of Energy and from the National Security Agency.When I left NNPTC, I was the number-one-ranked Direct Input Officer (DIO) in the entire command in my final Navy Fitness Report, or FITREP.
I am here today out of duty to God and country in a nonpartisan manner with only one party in mind, the party I served with honor and gratitude: the United States of America.While I have made a few campaign contributions over the years to Democrats such as Congressman Ro Khanna, a member of the Oversight Committee, I am not a political person.I come from a family with a long history of distinguished service in our nation’s military.I grew up the son of a career Naval Officer, CDR Robert Bobulinski, whom I loved dearly.I could not be prouder of my father’s long and distinguished service to our great nation.His father, Alex Bobulinski, served our country in the Air Force for four years.I am also the grandson of Army Intelligence Officer, Col. Fred B. Keller Jr., who, for more than thirty-seven years, fearlessly defended the United States all over the world and served in three different wars.My only brother, retired CDR Mike Bobulinski, is a twenty-eight year combat-serving Naval Flight Officer, and my only sister, Stacia Bobulinski, has spent the last eighteen years serving U.S. military veterans across the country through the Veterans Administration to demonstrate her and our family’s gratitude to everyone who has risked their lives defending America.
I share my extensive U.S. military roots and background with you because they are the lens through which I view this exceptional country and my responsibility to it.My deep commitment to America is also the reason I have elected to place myself and my family in the public eye to tell the truth before you today.That comes at a great cost to my privacy and to my personal security and that of my family, among other things.However, I am happy to pay that cost.I am blessed to have been born and to grow up in the greatest country on earth.I take that seriously.Having been to over fifty countries around the world, I say that with the highest confidence.
For nearly four years, I have tried to tell the American people the truth about serious corruption at the very top of their government.In return, I have been falsely accused of being a purveyor of “Russian disinformation” and a political surrogate.My continuous efforts to inform the American people of the facts have been actively suppressed by both the United States Government and the so-called “mainstream” media.
I want to be crystal clear: from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was “the Brand” being sold by the Biden family.His family’s foreign influence peddling operation – from China to Ukraine and elsewhere – sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government.Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family’s business; he was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability.
The only reason any of these international business transactions took place – with tens of millions of dollars flowing directly to the Biden family – was because Joe Biden was in high office.The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period.Other key players have made this point clear as well: Hunter Biden himself has adamantly stated it in a variety of communications, as did another Biden family business associate, Devon Archer, in his testimony last year.Foreign nationals on the other side of these transactions – including from China, Ukraine and Romania – have also explained how and why these transactions took place.Once again, I would call that extensive evidence.
The Chinese Communist Party through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or “CEFC” – a CCP-linked Chinese energy conglomerate – successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House.This process started in the Fourth Quarter of 2015 and continued through when Joe Biden left office in January 2017 to March of 2018 when CEFC Chairman Ye was detained for corruption in China, never to be seen again.Note that on October 21, 2015, Joe Biden announced that he would not seek the Presidency in 2016.It is not a coincidence that CEFC’s aggressive approach to the Biden family happened around the same time.It is also not a coincidence that CEFC used the Biden family’s weakest link, Hunter Biden, and the promise of large sums of money to the tune of tens of millions of dollars initially, and eventually the profits from investing billions of dollars in the United States and around the world.
Before we begin this in-depth testimony under penalty of perjury and charges of Obstruction of Congress, I would like to highlight a few critically important facts:
Joe Biden was aware of the CEFC transaction, enabled it and had a constitutional responsibility and obligation to the American people to shut it down before it began.This is because CEFC had been identified as a known surrogate of the Chinese Communist Party by the U.S. Government and prosecutors in the Southern District of New York as far back as 2016, possibly earlier.I would encourage Congress to gather all of the exact facts and dates.It is clear to me that alarm bells should have been going off in the Obama-Biden White House and that Joe Biden should have been aware that his own administration had red-flagged CEFC as a tool of the Chinese Communist Party.This should have made any business transaction with CEFC a non-starter. I personally met with Joe Biden in Los Angeles in May of 2017 multiple times to discuss the broad contours of our business dealings.The only reason Joe Biden met with me privately during the Milken Institute Global Conference and seated me at his head table was because I was a business associate of the Biden family.
Joe Biden’s immediate family members were enriched to the tune of tens of millions of dollars from some of our most dangerous adversaries, including the Chinese Communist Party and players from Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan and other foreign nations and entities.It is my educated belief dating back to Q clearance briefings I received in the Navy and continuing through recent discussions with experts, that under U.S. corruption laws, political office holders can be held as responsible as the immediate family members who are receiving money directly.This makes common sense and Americans understand this.The facts we are going to discuss today appear to me to present disturbing evidence, which these committees should thoroughly investigate, with respect to possible violations by Joe Biden of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity statutes, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
The Biden family – Joe’s son Hunter and his brother Jim – knowingly and aggressively defrauded me as the CEO of SinoHawk Holdings and as a member of Oneida Holdings, LLC at the end of July 2017.They put Joe Biden and the rest of the Biden family smack in the middle of a $9 Billion transaction between Russia and China involving Qatar (specifically, the Qatar Investment Authority), and helped CEFC navigate through various issues before Patrick Ho, a CEFC executive, was arrested for corruption in New York in November 2017.Joe Biden’s status as the head of the family served an enforcement role – for example, when Hunter stated deliberately that his father Joe was sitting right next to him while demanding immediate payment of the $10 million CEFC had committed to the Biden family, as well as when Hunter demanded CEFC circumvent SinoHawk Holdings.The Biden family violated their fiduciary duties to SinoHawk and Oneida as they enriched themselves at the CEFC trough.
United States law enforcement appears to have been singularly unwilling to speak with me or to hear the facts we will be discussing today.I have never been contacted to provide testimony nor asked to speak with anyone connected with Joe Biden’s administration, including his Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, or local law enforcement.That includes U.S. Attorney David Weiss for the District of Delaware or any of the several grand juries I now know were convened after my name became publicly known.On October 23, 2020, I voluntarily walked into the Washington Field Office of the FBI with several phones containing years of encrypted communications between me and numerous members of the Biden family and their associates.That conversation, which was subject to False Statement statutes, lasted many hours, and was never followed up upon by anyone in government or law enforcement in any way.Rather, when the House Ways and Means Committee recently released the FBI 302 report of that meeting, Hunter Biden’s lawyers laughably tried to use a single note-taking error by a junior FBI agent to accuse me, falsely, of lying about my attendance at a meeting with Hunter Biden and CEFC in Miami.I was crystal clear to the agent in my interview that I was physically in Miami during that time for other things and did not attend the actual CEFC meeting.Hunter Biden’s lawyers should focus their energy on the facts and the extensive indictments Hunter is fighting versus creating smoke screens and distractions with their empty threats.I have only told the truth, I continue to tell the truth, I have the facts and, as we will discuss today, I also have the receipts to back them up.
I sit here before two of the premiere committees of Congress: Oversight and Judiciary.I implore each and every one of you to remove your partisan hats today and focus on one party: the United States of America.I hope your focus will be on a thorough and extensive investigation and exposure of all of the facts and evidence – and on answering the question of how we as a country allowed the White House to be infiltrated by our most existential adversary, the Chinese Communist Party.I also hope you will hold the complicit parties, including Joe Biden, accountable for their actions, as well as enact new laws that prevent this kind of deep corruption from ever happening again.
God Bless America.I am ready for your questions.
