How the World Reacted to Biden’s ‘Big Boy’ Presser.

Global media and leaders have not been to Joe Biden in their assessment of his “big boy” press conference at the NATO summit in Washington, D.C., with many arguing he should exit the presidential race.

Britain’s Economist magazine, which recently called for Biden to drop out, ran with the ambivalent headline, ‘Biden survives his “big boy” press conference.’

The Telegraph argued that Biden’s gaffes throughout the summit “ruined” months of hard work by European diplomats and undermined the entire event.

Similarly, The Daily Mail ran with, ‘Biden flubs lines, meanders and makes excruciating gaffe in “big boy” press conference that leaves his reelection bid on life support.’

Italy’s Il Giornale noted how Biden had introduced Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky with the words, “Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.”

Germany’s Bild newspaper, the largest in the country, questioned Biden’s behavior with the headline, ‘Are these slips of the tongue or is it old age?’

In Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald ran with the headline, ‘Shaky answers and gaffes: Biden’s latest showing won’t stem the bleeding.’ New Zealand’s NZ Herald also called the presser “gaffe-prone.”

One of the biggest gaffes of the presser saw Biden refer to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.”

Senate Rejects Biden Judge Who Put Trans Child Rapist in Women’s Prison.

The U.S. Senate has rejected its first judicial nominee since Joe Biden took office. On Thursday, Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn’s nomination to the U.S. District Court bench failed to make it out of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Netburn’s nomination was opposed by Republican senators who found her decision to place a transgender child rapist in a women’s prison facility, despite warnings against the move by the Bureau of Prisons, to be disqualifying. The transgender convict subsequently exposed his male genitals to numerous women in the facility.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), a vocal opponent of the judge‘s nomination, highlighted the incident along with others where Netburn put female inmates at risk, seemingly in an effort to push a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) agenda in sentencing.

“Every one of us, every one of us would be horrified if a loved one found out she was the cellmate of a six-foot-two man who was a serial rapist,” Sen. Cruz said.

Meanwhile, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) broke with his fellow Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, siding with Republicans in the 10-11 vote to block the advancement of Netburn’s nomination to a lifetime appointment as a federal district court judge.

Transgender inmates in other women’s prisons have sexually assaulted female prisoners and even impregnated them. An inmate at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey filed a lawsuit last year alleging that guards had refused to take corrective action against a transgender prisoner who had sexually assaulted her.

Media Admits ‘Fake Candidates’ Hoax Against Farage’s Reform Party Is Fake News.

The British media now admits that none of Nigel Farage‘s candidates in the British elections were fake. The Guardian and other outlets had been pushing conspiracy theories that some Reform Party candidates may have been generated by artificial intelligence (AI).

Reform Party candidate Mark Matlock became an unwitting viral sensation after digitally altering an image of himself. Unfounded rumors spread that he was an AI-generated candidate. The Guardian ran a lengthy article suggesting Reform was “under pressure to prove all its candidates were real people”—only conceding there was “no evidence any of the candidates are fake” nine paragraphs into their story.

Despite the Liberal Democrats fueling the conspiracy theories, demanding Reform “come clean with evidence,” the BBC now confirms it has “found no evidence that any of Reform’s candidates were fake.”

Former prime minister Rishi Sunak called the July 4 election on extremely short notice. This forced Reform, which won five seats in the election, to field a number of so-called “paper candidates” who did little or no active campaigning.

These included “friends, relations, office workers,” a spokesman explained.

Farage has promised his five-man contingent will be a “bridgehead” in Parliament, holding the governing Labour Party to account. He hopes they can form the basis for a mass movement for electoral reform and a new government in 2029.

Hungary Defends ‘Culinary Tradition’ Against Bug Meat, Lab Meat in Europe.

European Union (EU) agriculture ministers are convening on Monday, July 15, to discuss the impact of insect-based foods, plant-based foods, and lab-grown meat on Europe’s culinary traditions. Hungary, which is operating the rotating presidency of the EU under the Donald J. Trump-inspired slogan ‘Make Europe Great Again,’ is organizing the meeting.

The Hungarian Council Presidency believes meat and dairy are integral to European food culture, arguing: “When we talk about European food traditions… we think about roquefort, paella, pierogi, pizza”—as opposed to bug burgers and “meat” cultured in a laboratory.

The EU has approved hundreds of so-called “novel foods”, and “several hundred applications” are under consideration.

The Hungarian government, led by Trump ally Viktor Orban, believes “traditional food production and consumption are part of our European way of life” and that the public is “reluctant to fundamentally change” their culinary traditions.

Normalizing insect consumption is an obsession of the corporate media and globalist organizations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF). Along with the promotion of lab-grown meat cultivated from cancer-like cells, the stated motivation for this drive is generally climate change.

The EU establishment, which often clashes with Orban over his traditionalist, anti-mass migration policies, is expressing irritation with Hungary’s drive against “novel foods,” with a diplomatic source telling the EU-funded Euractiv news site that the Hungarians are the ones pushing an “agenda.”

The diplomat also alleged regulations against bug and lab meat would “weaken” the EU relative to the U.S., where corporations such as Tyson are investing heavily in “novel foods.”

“Without innovative methods, how will Europe ensure food security?” the source demanded.

However, by enforcing climate targets leading to mass farm closures in Europe, the EU is increasing food insecurity and the need for non-traditional foods.

House Oversight Subpoenas Three Top Biden Aides Over Plot to Hide His Cognitive Decline.

The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Representative James Comer (R-KY), have announced subpoenas for three top staffers in Joe Biden‘s White House. According to the announcement, the committee is seeking information regarding whether White House staff are “running interference for President Biden and doing the President’s job for him amid his declining cognitive state.”

Targeted by the House Oversight subpoenas are First Lady Jill Biden‘s top aide Anthony Bernal, deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini, and senior adviser Ashley Williams. The National Pulse reported on Sunday that these three aides, each with deep ties to Jill Biden, created a “protective bubble” around Joe Biden—even preventing other senior staff from accessing to the 81-year-old incumbent.

A senior official at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) painted a bleaker picture regarding the level of staff control of and intervention with Biden. “Everything else feels like ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ by his inner circle to prop him up,” they said.

In letters to each Biden White House staffer, Rep. Comer has given them until July 27 to respond to the subpoenas. “I am issuing subpoenas today for White House staff Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams to appear for depositions,” the Kentucky Republican said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

He added: “The White House has shielded these three key aides from testifying about President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents and now we’ve learned through reporting these same aides are also seeking to cover up President Biden’s declining cognitive state inside the White House. ”

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.
