Loony Left Wants Downed Bridge Renamed for Rep. Who Called Reagan ‘Clear and Present Danger’ to Blacks.

Democrats want to rename the Francis Scott Key Bridge, destroyed when an Indian-crewed cargo ship allided with it in March, after a radical black Democrat politician who called Ronald Reagan a “clear and present danger” to black Americans.

“We think this [the destruction of the bridge presents] an excellent opportunity to make a statement about what Marylanders believe,” said Carl Snowden, who leads the Caucus of African American Leaders. The group, representing black activists and politicians in Maryland, wants the replacement bridge named after the Old Line State’s first black congressman, Parren Mitchell.

Mitchell, a founder of the Congressional Black Caucus and pioneer of affirmative action policies, tried to increase black turnout for the Democrats in the 1980 presidential election by claiming “Ronald Reagan [was] a clear and present danger to black America,” accusing the then-candidate of having been “embraced and endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan.”

Mitchell’s efforts were unsuccessful, with Reagan heavily defeating Democrat President Jimmy Carter. He attempted to impeach Reagan in 1983, but this also failed.

Francis Scott Key, born in 1779, is most famous for authoring The Star-Spangled Banner. Key has been posthumously “canceled” for having owned a small number of slaves, although he also freed slaves, arguing for freedmen to receive land and against slavery as an institution.

Democrats are also using the destruction of the Baltimore bridge, in which several migrant workers were killed, to push for a mass amnesty of illegal aliens.

Joe Biden has also sought to gain political capital from the tragedy, claiming he had crossed the bridge “many, many times” by train. However, it never had a railway line.

Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, To Be Held in Contempt.

The House Judiciary Committee is preparing a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress due to the Justice Department’s refusal to release Joe Biden’s audio-recorded interview with special counsel Robert Hur, according to a source familiar with the committee’s agenda.

Last year, Hur interviewed Biden over allegations of mishandling classified documents. Despite Hur’s ultimate decision not to press charges, his final report portrayed Biden as an “elderly man with poor memory” — a characterization that provoked upset among Biden’s supporters and allies.

For months, House Republicans have demanded the audio of the discussion, arguing that the testimonial itself could unveil more about Hur’s conclusions regarding Biden’s mental faculties. However, DOJ officials counter that the Republicans have yet to justify their request for the audio, noting that a complete interview transcript has already been shared.

During a March public hearing, Hur expressed neutrality on the subject of the audio’s release, stating that the recordings played a part in his resolution but that the decision to disclose them was not his to make.

In February, it was revealed that Biden’s lawyers attempted to pressure the DOJ to cover up the Hur report. The transcript revealed that Biden “couldn’t recall” information 150 times throughout the five-hour interview and “forgot” details once every two minutes.

NYT Editor Blasts Biden Regime: They Want to Be Covered Like Chinese State Media Covers the CCP.

New York Times Executive Editor Joe Kahn slammed the Biden regime for its criticism of the newspaper’s coverage, suggesting that the White House would prefer the Times to document the administration’s activities much like Pravda, the state-run Soviet newspaper. The remarks follow allegations from the White House that the Times isn’t doing enough to prevent Donald Trump‘s return to office.

“To say that the threats of democracy are so great that the media is going to abandon its central role as a source of impartial information to help people vote — that’s essentially saying that the news media should become a propaganda arm for a single candidate, because we prefer that candidate’s agenda,” Kahn said.

“It’s our job to cover the full range of issues that people have. At the moment, democracy is one of them. But it’s not the top one — immigration happens to be the top [of polls], and the economy and inflation is the second. Should we stop covering those things because they’re favorable to Trump and minimize them?” Kahn asked rhetorically.

“I don’t even know how it’s supposed to work in the view of Dan Pfeiffer or the White House. We become an instrument of the Biden campaign? We turn ourselves into Xinhua News Agency or Pravda and put out a stream of stuff that’s very, very favorable to them and only write negative stories about the other side?”

The Biden White House has been highly hostile to media sources that dare to criticize the regime and has gone to great lengths to control media coverage. Last month, it was reported that the regime went as far as pressuring fact-checker Snopes to change one of its ratings.

Biden Took His 100th Delaware Vacation Since 2020, And Strangely Kept Disappearing From The Press Pool’s Line of Sight.

President Biden’s recent weekend in Delaware, meant to be a routine trip to his home state, encountered a number of curious logistical challenges that kept the traveling press pool away from the President of the United States in an almost unprecedented manner.

The protective press pool lost contact with the President not once but twice this weekend, with administration staff glibly remarking upon a series of “hiccups” that prevented reporters from confirming Biden’s whereabouts or activities.

POLITICO reports: “It’s rare for the pool to lose touch with the commander-in-chief at all. One veteran White House reporter who is frequently part of the traveling press corps estimated that they had witnessed it fewer than five times in nearly a decade.”

White House Correspondents’ Association president Kelly O’Donnell added: “The proximity of the protective pool is an essential part of the transparency needed in coverage… The pool always knows where the president is in public, and the president always has immediate access to communicate directly to the American people through the pool. Any disruption of that continuity is an issue that we seek to immediately address.”

“We don’t want hiccups to happen. But things don’t always move as smoothly as we would like,” said White House director of press advance Nicolette Jaworski, who worked as a public relations consultant for corporate giant AT&T until February this year.

Read the details of the bizarre incidents here.

A Muslim GOP Candidate in Arizona is Raising Eyebrows After Opposing Trump and Demanding MORE ‘Refugees.’

Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser, who is attempting to become the GOP candidate in the 4th Congressional District in Arizona, refused to support Donald Trump during the 2016 Republican National Convention and lobbied for more third-world immigration alongside a Barack Obama administration official.

In 2016, as a delegate of the Republican National Convention, Jasser refused to attend and back Trump’s nomination. “We have a candidate that is beyond the pale. He has thrived on bait and switch politics, no track record showing he shares our values as conservative. He has thrived on demagoguery with nativism and populism. That is not conservatism,” Jasser complained.

As president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Jasser also penned an article alongside Obama administration assistant secretary Eric P. Schwartz, titled ‘Year of the refugee,’ demanding that the U.S. absorb “at least 125,000” refugees a year. Specifically, they demanded more refugees “from places like Syria” — the homeland of Jasser’s asylum-seeker parents. The article also referenced Iraq and Rohingya Muslims from Burma.

Despite his past, Jasser has amassed a formidable line-up of high-profile endorsements, including Blaze Media founder Glenn Beck and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Jasser is less vocal in his opposition to Trump and support for mass migration at present but continues to advance many establishment Republican policy positions, such as claiming aid to Ukraine and other foreign aid is “the best thing for the American economy” and “help[s] secure our own country.”

Loony Left Congressman Floats Conspiracy That Trump Militias ‘Are Training Up In The Hills.’

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) is claiming that “right-wing organizations” aligned with former President Donald J. Trump are preparing in secret to unleash violence on cities and towns across the country should he lose the 2024 presidential election. “I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump]’s connected with how are training up in the hills somewhere,” Waters told MSNBC on Sunday. She continued, baselessly claiming these groups are “targeting what communities they’re going to attack.”

Waters, who has a long history of spreading conspiracy theories and unfounded claims about Republican organizations and leaders, told MSNBC she intends to pressure the Biden government as to their plan to handle the groups she imagines are hiding in the hills. “I’ll tell you what I’m going to do,” Waters exclaimed on the left-wing cable network before continuing: “I’m going to ask the Justice Department, and I’m going to ask the President to tell us what they’re going to do to protect this country against violence if [Trump] loses.”

Despite Waters‘s assertion that there is a vast right-wing conspiracy of armed groups hiding “up in the hills somewhere,” there is no actual evidence the claim is true. Even the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center concedes there are only about 200 active militia groups in the United States, down from their estimate of 858 groups in 1996. A 1999 Justice Department report acknowledged that most of the militia movement in the U.S. was not a proactive force and posed little to no public threat.

The National Pulse previously reported that former President Donald Trump does not think there will be any violence around the 2024 presidential election, despite Waters’s baseless insistence otherwise. “I don’t think you’ll have political violence,” he said. During a January town hall event, Trump said that political violence was never acceptable.

Biden’s Partisan DHS Panel Shuttered After Lawsuit.

Following a lawsuit from conservative legal nonprofit America First Legal (AFL), the Biden government has agreed to disband the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group. The group, formed by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, consisted of individuals from the private sector designated to give insights on the government’s intelligence and national security endeavors.

Critics contended that the board was more partisan than neutral, expressing concerns over the involvement of figures such as James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, and John Brennan, former CIA Director. Both had previously signed a letter questioning the truth behind the Hunter Biden laptop story.

“As a result of our lawsuit in federal court, DHS is surrendering in total to our demands: they are closing down their new partisan intelligence board featuring Clapper and Brennan — which would have been used to promote censored, unethical spying, and gross civil rights invasions of political enemies — and they are surrendering their documents, handing them over to our possession. We won. We beat Biden and DHS,” said AFL President Stephen Miller.

America First Legal, which also represented former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grennell in the lawsuit, found that among the political donations made by those appointed to the group, a mere one percent went to Republicans, while 98 percent favored Democrats. Filed in November, the lawsuit accused the group of violating the Federal Advisory Committee Act, citing an alleged bias, a lack of public transparency, and undue influence by the Biden regime.

Although DHS denied any violation, it has agreed to dissolve the group. As per the agreement, the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group will be wound down within 30 days, with no future meetings scheduled and no reconstitution of the group inconsistent with federal law.

REVEALED: Biden’s New Migration Advisor is Foreign-Born Open Borders Advocate.

Marcela Escobari, Biden‘s new migration advisor, is a foreign-born, open-borders advocate who is unlikely to advance or support any measures to seriously stem the flow of migrants into the U.S.

Born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Escobari is an international development specialist by trade. She served as the Assistant Administrator of the Latin American and Caribbean Bureau at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under Barack Obama. She again assumed that position in the Biden government in 2022 following a stint at the globalist, pro-open borders Brookings Institute.

Addressing Congress last year, Escobari bragged about the Latin American bureau’s role in doubling the number of H-2 visa migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

“We also support legal pathways, so that people can migrate in conditions of dignity, safety, and mutual benefit,” Escobari said. “USAID’s work with the ministries of labor in Guatemala and Honduras and the ministry of foreign affairs in El Salvador has more than doubled the number of H-2 visa recipients from these countries to almost 20,000 and reduced processing times threefold.”

Prior to her second stint at USAID, Escobari may have also had a hand in shaping the Biden regime’s immigration policies that led to the current migrant crisis, co-leading the Development, Global Health and Refugee policy working group for Biden’s 2020 campaign.

While her work at USAID has involved addressing issues with border enforcement within Latin American countries, she demonstrates Biden’s commitment to “expanding lawful pathways” for more migrants to enter the country, an NSC spokesman told Axios.

Guess How Much Biden Recently Funneled to the Taliban?

A recent audit by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) indicates the Biden regime has indirectly provided around $1.3 million to the Taliban via weapons removal projects in Afghanistan. The oversight group also revealed that an additional $5 million is earmarked for the same cause, which will presumably be implemented under the Taliban’s authority.

The revelations are coupled with warnings from SIGAR that Afghanistan is reemerging as a hotspot for terrorist activities and the spending of taxpayer’s money on weapons removal may inadvertently be benefiting the Taliban. The removal efforts are part of the U.S.’ $17 billion investment in post-withdrawal Afghanistan, which according to SIGAR, remains somewhat unmonitored due to limited government cooperation.

Amid a rising count of terrorist attacks, SIGAR reports indicate that the Taliban is colluding with various notorious terror outfits like al Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. ISIS operations are also said to be expanding in Afghanistan.

The agenda of the Taliban regime, known for its strict imposition of Islamic law, has witnessed an escalation in human rights violations. Copious Afghan refugees are entering the U.S. through the U.S.-Mexico border. SIGAR’s interviews with the refugees reveal an alarming lack of coordination by the U.S. government in tracking those who enter the country.

The American exit from Afghanistan itself was a disastrous failure for the Biden government, with one historian calling it America’s “greatest humiliation since Saigon.” The botched withdrawal culminated in an ISIS-K terrorist attack at Kabul airport’s Abbey Gate.

Biden Blasts Ally Japan as ‘Xenophobic’ for Refusing Mass Migration.

President Biden has sparked controversy by branding Japan, a longstanding U.S. ally, as “xenophobic” in an off-camera speech at a fundraiser marking the commencement of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Biden’s comments contrast starkly with his affirmations of “unbreakable” ties with Japan during a state dinner with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida just weeks prior.

In his critique, President Biden grouped Japan with China and Russia, attributing their poor economic performance to an unwillingness to welcome immigrants. According to Biden, America’s economic growth is significantly driven by its immigrant population. While immigrants may not be contributing to actual economic growth — inflation continues to be a central problem plaguing the Biden economy — they are certainly contributing to superficial job growth.

“You know, one of the reasons why our economy is growing is because of you and many others — why — because we welcome immigrants,” said Biden. “Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? … Because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants,” he continued. “Immigrants are what makes us strong! Not a joke. That’s not hyperbole. Because we have an influx of workers who want to be here and contribute.”

It remains to be seen how these off-camera comments might impact U.S.-Japanese relations. Japan is a crucial U.S. ally in the Pacific, and good relations with the nation would be critical to any future conflict with China.
