WATCH: ‘More Minorities, More Women!’ – Biden Rambles About DEI at Bizarre Union Rally.

A media feed of Joe Biden rambling about the need for more diversity following a meeting with national union leaders cut out in bizarre fashion on Wednesday. The event, which took place at the AFL-CIO Headquarters in Washington, D.C., was Biden’s latest attempt to salvage his presidential campaign as more and more Democrats and their allies call on him to drop out.

Biden’s cognitive decline was on full display at the end of his speech when another speaker mentioned Biden having “the most diverse cabinet in history.” Footage of the event shows the 81-year-old grab the microphone back and start shouting that he wants “more minorities, more women, more labour,” as the camera suddenly begins spinning around the room.

“I’m serious, think about it. That’s who we are; that’s why we’re strong. We’re diverse, we’re strong, we gotta stop looking at it like it’s a problem; it’s an asset,” Biden shouts before the feed suddenly cuts off.

Biden’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) rant comes as fellow Democrats are calling for him to drop out of the presidential race. Previously friendly media outlets, such as the Economist magazine, also say he should go.

Biden has championed DEI policies as President, despite his frequently misrepresented friendship with segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond earlier in his career.

“Look, the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion are the core strength of America,” he claimed at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner in May.

“We have more African-American [sic], more women, more minorities in our administration than any other administration in all of history. That’s why we’re doing so damn well,” he argued.

Trump Backs Inherent Contempt Charge Against Biden AG Merrick Garland.

Former President Donald J. Trump has endorsed Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL)’s resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in inherent contempt. Garland has rebuffed multiple requests from House Republicans to surrender audio recordings of Joe Biden‘s two interviews with the Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Robert Hur.

“I AGREE with Anna Paulina Luna and the many House Members who think Merrick Garland should be held in INHERENT CONTEMPT for refusing to release the Biden Tapes even though they were subpoenaed,” former President Trump said in a post on Truth Social. “The House Republicans should also subpoena Deranged Jack Smith and look into his ILLEGAL INVESTIGATION of me immediately. And they should pass the SAVE ACT immediately to stop illegals from voting in our elections. Republicans MUST GET TOUGH about stopping weaponization and cheating!”

Rep. Luna is pushing forward with her inherent contempt resolution this week. If passed, the measure would fine Garland $10,000 each day he does not hand the audio recordings over to Congress. The Florida Republican has amended the resolution language from her original draft, which would have directed the House Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest Garland and hold him until he produced the recordings.

In early June, the Attorney General was held in contempt of Congress after refusing to hand over audio recordings of 81-year-old Joe Biden‘s interview sessions with DOJ special counsel Robert Hur. Before the vote, Garland acknowledged that the transcripts of the interviews had been edited for clarity, raising the question of whether evidence of Biden’s cognitive decline had been altered.

‘We’re a Battleground State Now’ – Dems Panic as Trump Closes in on Biden in NEW YORK.

Joe Biden faces a major challenge in New York, with polls indicating a tightening race against former President Donald J. Trump. Despite Biden’s 23-point victory in 2020, recent polls show Trump leading in a swing district and Biden’s statewide lead down to just 8 points.

Biden’s campaign, focused on battleground states, has been criticized for neglecting New York, where Democrats have dominated for years. Democrats are now urging Biden to prioritize the Empire State, fearing the implications for House control and Biden’s own reelection prospects as Trump rises.

“We’re still acting like this is a one-party state, which for pretty much 20, 25 years it has been. I truly believe we’re a battleground state now,” laments Democratic Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine.

Biden’s lack of attention could jeopardize crucial House races in swing districts in Hudson Valley and Long Island. Some Democrats are distancing themselves from Biden to strengthen their campaigns.

The shift in New York, long seen as a Democratic stronghold, underscores broader concerns about Biden’s appeal, particularly among independent voters disillusioned with his presidency.

While Democrats still dominate state politics, recent GOP gains in suburban areas and voter concerns over issues like crime, illegal immigration, and high taxes are emboldening conservatives. Thousands of bodegas endorsed Trump in April, attracted by his tough stance on law and order.

New York has grown to be a surprising source of support for Trump, with a Bronx rally in May seeing a large number of black and Hispanic supporters turn out for the former president.

Gavin Wax, the President of the New York Young Republican Club credited with kickstarting the conservative revival in the Empire State, predicted last year that Trump would not only see gains but could possibly even win there in November.

Lawfare: French Prosecutors Announce Investigation of Le Pen.

Prosecutors confirmed on Tuesday that they have initiated a preliminary investigation into supposedly illicit financing of National Rally leader Marine Le Pen’s 2022 presidential election. Le Pen’s populist party won the European elections in France, and the greatest share of the popular vote in the subsequent snap national elections called by President Emmanuel Macron.

Reports indicate that other candidates in the 2022 presidential election are also under investigation but, unlike Le Pen, they have not been named. The judicial probe focuses on allegations of misappropriation of funds, fraud, and forgery.

Last year, French prosecutors threatened Le Pen with a possible one million euro fine and up to ten years in prison over allegations of misusing European Union (EU) funds. Previously, prosecutors pursued her for disseminating violent messages, after she posted images of Islamic State atrocities. This ended in an acquittal—with the courts recognizing she was clearly criticizing rather than glorifying the jihadist group.

The lawfare campaign against Le Pen is similar to the one against former President Donald J. Trump in the United States. Joe Biden’s Justice Department and state-level Democrat prosecutors have launched multiple cases against Trump, but after numerous adverse rulings for prosecutors, it is likely that only one dubious conviction in Manhattan will be in place at the time of the November election.

Tony Blair Calls on New UK Leader to Increase Tax by $64 Billion.

Former Labour leader and prime minister Sir Tony Blair has called on Sir Keir Starmer’s new Labour government to take an additional £50 billion ($63.9 billion) in tax from the public.

Blair, a mentor to Prime Minister Starmer, says the hikes may be necessary in a report by his institute.

Starmer’s Chancellor (Treasury Secretary), Rachel Reeves, has already signaled a review of public finances, claiming the situation is worse than she expected—and sparking fears the new administration is laying the groundwork for tax rises.

Blair’s report emphasizes the importance of harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to boost productivity. It argues that without a substantial growth boost, Britain will have to increase the tax burden by tens of billions of pounds by 2029 just to stabilize debt levels.

In his first days in office, Prime Minister Starmer has already axed the Conservatives’ Rwanda migrant deportation plan, canceling the deportations of thousands of illegal aliens.

The Rwandan government will not refund hundreds of millions of pounds given to them to prepare housing for the deportees and cover other costs associated with the scheme.

Starmer is also considering releasing as many as 40,000 prisoners early in order to ease overcrowding, endangering the public.

Conservative Leadership Contender Regrets Being Part of a Government That Flew ‘Monstrous’ Progress Pride Flag.

Suella Braverman, former Home Secretary (Homeland Security Secretary) of the United Kingdom, has attacked her party, the Conservatives (Tories), for governing as liberals and embracing the Progress Pride flag during their 14 years in government.

“Far, far too many Tory politicians agreed, and still agree, that the Progress flag must be flown; to be kind, to be inclusive. It shows how liberal and progressive we are—and that’s what many Conservatives want us to be,” she told the National Conservatism conference in Washington, D.C.

Braverman blames the Conservatives’ dominant liberal faction, which is far to the left of the party’s ordinary members, for the electoral success of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, which won over many former Brexit and Conservative voters who feel the party betrayed them, particularly on immigration.

Braverman penned a scathing letter to then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after he removed her from his Cabinet last year, accusing him of repeatedly failing to deliver on immigration pledges and questioning his sincerity.

“Someone needs to be honest: your plan is not working, we have endured record election defeats, your resets have failed and we are running out of time. You need to change course urgently,” she said. Her warnings were not heeded, and the party suffered its biggest-ever general election losses on July 4.

Braverman is expected to mount a bid for the party’s leadership, running as a right-wing candidate.

French Far Left Demands 90% Tax on Those Earning $430K+

France’s New Popular Front (NFP) is pushing an extreme tax hike after winning snap legislative elections. The far-left bloc wants to impose a 90 percent tax rate on annual income over €400,000 (~$430,000).

This radical proposal sets the stage for a clash with President Emmanuel Macron. Despite his Ensemble bloc falling to second place in the National Assembly and third by share of the popular vote, Macron wants to install a prime minister of his choosing.

Macron called the snap elections in response to Marine Le Pen‘s National Rally winning the European elections. The National Rally won again in the first round, but the NFP and the Macronists formed an electoral pact to push Le Pen’s party into third place in the second round despite the fact that they won the popular vote by a wide margin.

The NFP, an alliance of Jean-Luc Melenchon’s France Unbowed Party with the Socialists, Communists, Greens, and others, is now the largest force in the National Assembly. Alongside the 90 percent tax rate, their government program includes lowering the retirement age, increased by Macron, from 64 to 60, capping prices on certain goods, raising the minimum wage by 14 percent, and pledging at least €150 billion in spending over three years.

Macron’s prime minister, Gabriel Attal, has tendered his resignation, but the president is keeping him in place until at least the end of the Paris Olympics, irking the NFP.

Reports suggest that Macron hopes to form a “rainbow coalition” comprised of the Macronist bloc and NFP parties other than Melenchon’s France Unbowed, which would foster incredible tensions, considering that Melenchon is the NFP’s leading figure.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, argues conflicts between the far-left and Macronists could result in fresh elections being called once a mandatory cooling period expires.

Radio Station Boots Interviewer Who Used Questions Provided By Biden Team.

A Pennsylvania talk radio station has severed ties with host Andrea Lawful-Sanders following revelations that the Joe Biden campaign provided questions for his post-debate interview. Sara M. Lomax, President and CEO of WURD Radio, confirmed Lawful-Sanders’ departure, stating the interview was arranged independently without the station’s knowledge or consent.

Lawful-Sanders admitted to CNN that Biden’s team had supplied several questions. She selected four to pose during the interview, which aired on July 4. Despite Biden campaign spokeswoman Lauren Hitt claiming hosts were free to ask any questions they chose, the incident raised concerns over journalistic independence at WURD Radio.

Lomax announced a review of their policies in light of the incident and highlighted WURD’s status as the only black-owned and operated talk radio station in Pennsylvania.

The controversy stemmed from Biden‘s interview aimed at addressing concerns over his debate performance against Donald Trump. Biden’s team had facilitated similar interviews with other swing state radio stations, focusing on issues relevant to black voters.

The incident comes as Biden’s cognitive decline has become more and more of an issue to Democrats and their allies in the media as many call for Biden to step aside in the race.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre hung up on a radio interviewer in March being asked whether Biden showed signs of dementia.

WATCH: Kassam Predicts There May Be Another Snap Election as ‘Unholy Alliance of the Left’ Unravels.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, is predicting there could be a fresh snap election in France sooner rather than later. Speaking to War Room host Ben Harnwell, Kassam emphasized the huge differences between the far-left New Popular Front (NFP), which placed first, and the globalist-progressive Ensemble bloc, centered on President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party.

“This might actually be the saving grace… This coalition is going to be so shaky; they’re going to be at each other’s throats all the time, and they’re never going to be able to compromise with each other on a vast array of issues,” Kassam said.

“Jean-Luc Melenchon, the anti-NATO leader of the France Unbowed party, is the NFP’s leading figure. NFP does not have enough legislators to govern alone, however, and the Macronists are intensely distrustful of Melenchon. They may try to peel off other NFP parties, such as the Socialists, Communists, and Ecologists, to form a government without him.

“It doesn’t just come down to one or two things. It’s not just about the economy; it’s not just about immigration; it’s not just about ecology and the environment,” Kassam explained. “There are vast swathes of policy positions that all these separate parties that have pulled together this kind of unholy alliance of the left vehemently and violently disagree with one another on,” he stressed.

“It makes you wonder, can there even really be any form of government here? And if there can’t, well, maybe we’ll see another election. That is not beyond the realm of possibility at this point… We see this happen across Europe all the time—’We can’t get anything done, we have to go back to the people, we have to ask them to give somebody a mandate to govern,'” he added.

Biden Defiant: Sends Letter to Congressional Dems Saying He Won’t Leave Race.

Despite mounting pressure from donors and congressional Democrats to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, 81-year-old Democratic incumbent Joe Biden remains defiant. On Monday, a meeting between Biden and congressional Democrats led by Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) was abruptly canceled. Instead, Democrats on Capitol Hill received a lengthy letter from the 2024 nominee stating he will not leave the race.

“Now that you have returned from the July 4th recess, I want you to know that despite all the speculation in the press and elsewhere, I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,” the letter from the Biden White House reads. He continues: “We had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively. I received over 14 million votes, 87 [percent] of the votes cast across the entire nominating process. I have nearly 3,900 delegates, making me the presumptive nominee of our party by a wide margin.”

Biden’s letter strikes a domineering tone. In it, he reminds Congressional Democrats, donors, and television talking heads that he—and he alone—is the Democratic nominee and that they cannot force him from the race.

Democratic resistance to a second Biden run for the White House has grown in the week-and-a-half since his disastrous presidential debate against former President Donald J. Trump. Party leaders have pointed to Biden’s plummeting poll numbers and growing concern among voters regarding the 81-year-old Democrat’s physical and cognitive health.

Despite the significant setback to his campaign and attempts by his own party to get him to leave the race, Biden has repeatedly insisted over the last week that he will not leave and intends to see his campaign through to the election in November.
