Pope Francis, Tony Blair, & Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla Join Clinton Foundation Event Promoting Globalism.

The Clinton Foundation has announced Pope Francis will participate in the charity’s annual “Clinton Global Initiative” between September 18 and 19 next week, with the pontiff expected to discuss various topics including climate change, the migrant crisis, child welfare, and projects involving children’s hospitals alongside former United States President Bill Clinton.

Pope Francis will be one of a number of influential figures involved in the annual event, with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, Governor of California Gavin Newsom, CEO of Pfizer Albert Bourla, former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, among multiple others, all set to join.

The CGI was first launched by the Clintons in 2005 and claims to convene “global leaders to create and implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, inclusive economic growth, and health equity.”

Pope Francis has become increasingly vocal throughout his papal tenure, such as recently suggesting U.S. Catholic conservatives are “backward” as well as calling for “global governance” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

14th Amendment Won’t Disqualify Trump, Says NH Secy of State.

New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan addressed concerns about former President Donald Trump’s eligibility to appear on state ballots during a news conference this week, explaining there would be chaos, confusion, anger, and frustration if different states had different rules regarding ballot eligibility. New Hampshire’s filing period for candidates will run from October 11th to October 27th.

Opponents of Trump argue Section 3 of the 14th Amendment disqualifies him from appearing on the 2024 ballot due to his efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election. Scanlan assured that if a candidate submits their paperwork during the filing period and pays the required fee, their name will appear on the ballot in the state.

Chairman of the state Republican Party, Chris Ager, expressed satisfaction with Scanlan’s remarks and stated that the 14th Amendment issue could be put to rest in New Hampshire. Bruce Breton, campaign co-chair in New Hampshire, echoed Scanlan’s comments, confirming that anyone who meets the requirements and pays the filing fee will be placed on the ballot, including Trump.

Earlier this month, a group of Minnesota voters filed a lawsuit seeking to remove Trump from the ballot, citing the insurrection clause of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Similar lawsuits have also been filed by voters in Colorado. Scanlan clarified that he is not seeking to remove any names from the presidential primary ballot in New Hampshire.

DeSantis Turns To Big Money Romney Advisors for Help.

Governor of Florida Ron DeSantis is turning to Mitt Romney‘s former advisor, Emil Henry, for financial support in an effort to save his beleaguered 2024 presidential campaign.

Henry, CEO of the private equity firm Tiger Infrastructure Partners, will host a fund-raising lunch event on Thursday for the Florida Governor, charging a whopping $11,600 for admission. Henry, a long-term “moderate” Republican fundraiser, worked for the Romney on his 2012 presidential campaign, and as the assistant secretary of the Treasury in the George W. Bush administration.

DeSantis participated in a $11,600 per person breakfast on Thursday, alongside Republican fundraisers including David Blumberg, who has already donated over $60,000 to the Florida Governor, and Mark Gerson, who has similarly donated tens of thousands to DeSantis. Attendees will also required to make a minimum $1,500 campaign donation.

The Florida Governor’s campaign has relied heavily on corporate donors and D.C. Republican figures to raise capital after his campaign ranked eighth in grassroots, small-dollar donations earlier this summer. He is also having to re-raise the vast amounts his campaign has burned through without seeing any political gain.

DeSantis Spox Admits Trump’s Nomination ‘Seems Inevitable’.

Steve Cortes, the ” national spokesman” for the pro-DeSantis SuperPAC Never Back Down, has admitted a presidential rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden “seems inevitable,” during an appearance on the Chicago’s Morning Answer. While laying out the case for Florida Governor DeSantis, Cortes claims voters do not want to see a rematch of 2020, though let slip that Trump’s primary victory appears all-but-certain.

“You mentioned earlier about dissatisfaction with a Trump-Biden rematch. On most polling, roughly two-thirds of Americans… do not want that rematch. It is a rematch that nobody wants yet it seems at this moment to be inevitable,” Cortes told the radio hosts before going on to pitch DeSantis an alternative. The show hosts were quick to point out that much of the Republican establishment appears to have moved on from DeSantis, with many even favoring the candidacy of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

“DeSantis is now not a clear-and-away second place candidate. He’s fighting for second place. And then whoever’s there, if they can establish some separation, then they’ve got 20, 30, 40 points to go to get to Trump.”

Cortes conceded the situation is “a tough one for Ron DeSantis.”

Biden Spox Says Joe Was on Hunter’s Business Calls Because Beau Biden Was Sick.

White House spokesman Ian Sams is claiming that the reason President Joe Biden was on his son Hunter Biden’s business calls, and in his meetings, is because the Biden’s are a “close-knit family” and the then-Vice President’s other son, Beau, was battling brain cancer. The move represents yet another occasion of the Bidens using Beau’s death for political ends.

“He calls his son every day to check in. He calls his other family members to check in to see how they’re doing… they’re a tight knit family,” claimed Sams in an interview with CNN, adding, “He was checking in with Hunter during a particularly hard time, I might add, a time where the family was going through Hunter’s brother, Beau’s illness.”

Sams comments came in response to the impeachment inquiry against President Biden announced by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday. The White House spokesman argued that Republicans were “baselessly” targeting Biden and “…[g]oing after him without any evidence just to try to score political points… .” Sams went on to deny that Biden’s Department of Justice afforded Hunter Biden any special treatment relating to its investigation of him and the subsequent failed ‘sweetheart’ plea deal that was thrown out by a federal judge.

President Biden’s problems in Congress are only mounting, however. Prior to the impeachment inquiry announcement, the House Oversight Committee revealed that while serving as Vice President, Biden used several pseudonyms to communicate with his son Hunter regarding business arrangements. The Committee is currently demanding the National Archives hand over un-redacted copies of those communications and documents.

No More Mitt! Romney Won’t Seek 2024 Re-Election.

Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney, 76, announced on Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in 2024, bringing an end to his decades-long career as a milquetoast Republican who has, more often than not, empowered and enabled the political left in America.

The news comes shortly after Utah Republicans signaled the need for fresh representation, unhappy with Romney’s antagonistic behavior towards former President Donald J. Trump.

Citing his age as rationale, Romney said he would be in his mid-80s by the end of another Senate term. In a video posted to X, he took shots at both Joe Biden and Donald Trump:

Romney’s decision comes as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis attempted to open a new front on Donald Trump, declaring him too old for office, and even criticizing the nation’s founders for failing to prohibit people over the age of 80 from assuming the Oval Office.

Biden Leans on Media to Attack Republicans Over Impeachment.

Joe Biden is using the apparatus of government to lean on legacy media outlets, telling them how they should be covering the Republican-led impeachment inquiry into the business dealings of the President, his son Hunter, and brother James, declaring it is “time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans”.

Biden special assistant Ian Sams has written to outlets including CNN, Fox News, and the New York Times insisting that the impeachment inquiry is “based on lies” and that “[c]overing impeachment as a process story – Republicans say X, but the White House says Y – is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable.”

Sams, whose employers are the people in power, complained that “in the modern media environment, where every day liars and hucksters peddle disinformation and lies everywhere from Facebook to Fox, process stories that fail to unpack the illegitimacy of the claims on which House Republicans are basing all their actions, only serve to generate confusion, put false premises in people’s feeds, and obscure the truth.”

The intervention comes as a federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that the U.S. government violated the First Amendment, which protects freedom of the press and freedom of speech, by putting “unrelenting pressure” on social media platforms to suppress “millions of protected free speech postings” about the FBI and Hunter, COVID-19, and vaccines, among other topics.

Schumer: Biden Impeachment is ‘Witch Hunt’.

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has ironically labeled the GOP-lead impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden’s crooked financial affairs a ‘witch hunt,’ despite his own party having spent the last eight years politically persecuting former President Donald Trump.

Schumer, who twice voted to impeach the 45th President and was one of the leading proponents of the Russian collusion hoax, told the press after Speaker McCarthy announced the inquiry:

“I think the impeachment inquiry is absurd. The American people want us to do something that will make their lives better, not go off on these chases and witch hunts.”

– Sen. Schumer, September 2023.

“I have sympathy with Speaker McCarthy, he’s in a difficult position. But sometimes you got to tell these people who are way off the deep end, who have no interest in helping the American people, who just want to pursue their own witch hunts—that they can’t go forward,” Schumer added.

Schumer is yet to protest the unprecedented political step of criminally indicting a former U.S. President on four occasions, led by President Biden’s Department of Justice, which has spent a whopping $10 million pursuing Donald Trump.

Gaetz Blasts McCarthy for 8 Months of Propping Up Biden, Threatens Motion to Vacate.

Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took to the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday to blast Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for not upholding his end of a hard-won agreement with conservatives that gave him the speakership.

“The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate total compliance or remove you, pursuant to a motion to vacate the chair,” Gaetz warned McCarthy, before adding, “I know that Washington isn’t a town where people are known for keeping their word. Speaker McCarthy, I’m here to hold you to yours.”

“The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate, total compliance or remove you.”

– Matt Gaetz, September 2023.

Amongst Gaetz’s concerns has been McCarthy’s unenthusiastic push for the impeachment of President Joe Biden, despite several House committees presenting mounting evidence that Biden and his family enriched themselves turning his tenure as Vice-President from 2009 to 2017. Additionally, Gaetz believes McCarthy has abandoned conservative efforts to cut reckless spending. In just over two weeks, funding for the federal government will run out – starving the deep state of money – unless Congress passes a continuing resolution to keep the government open while they continue to hammer out twelve major appropriations bills that are expected to be voted on later this Fall.

Earlier this year, Kevin McCarthy was elected Speaker of the House by the new Republican majority after a grueling fifteen rounds of voting. The California Republican faced fierce resistance from conservative members of the Republican House Conference who consider McCarthy to be a political moderate who caves too easily to House Democrats and President Joe Biden. However, after cutting a deal with conservative members, including naming several to the powerful House Rules Committee and lowering the threshold to hold a vote to remove the Speaker to a motion by a single House member, McCarthy was finally able secure the votes to attain the Speakership.

DeSantis Blames Founding Fathers for Failing to Age-Disqualify Donald Trump.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has told CBS that former President Donald Trump 77, is too old to serve another four years in the Oval Office. DeSantis said the presidency is not a job for someone in their 80s, and even argued that America’s Founding Fathers were deficient in not adding an upper age restriction to run for the White House.

“We need an energetic president, and I think that if the Founders could kind of look at this again, I do think they probably would have put an age limit on some of these offices,” DeSantis told the corporate media outlet on Tuesday.

DeSantis’s comments are especially bizarre when considering he claims his political hero is President Ronald Reagan, who served until nearly 78, at a time when life expectancy was over half a decade lower than today.

DeSantis’s attacks on failure of the Founding Fathers to preemptively disqualify Trump reveal his increasing desperation, with his chief strategist Jeff Roe admitting two weeks ago that the team only had 60 days left to turn their failing campaign around.

Former President Trump, who is currently leading in the polls, has responded to criticisms of his age, challenging several individuals including Rupert Murdoch to mental acuity tests.
