Donald Trump re-shared this post on his Truth Social account Saturday night claiming that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by clones.Trump/Truth Social

The top brass in the FBI and intelligence community were determined to stop President Trump from winning the White House in 2016, and they talked about removing him from office months after he was sworn in, according to newly released documents. The zeal to pin Russian collusion allegations on Mr. Trump spilled out of the 700 pages of emails, memos, interviews and other material connected to the 2016 “Crossfire Hurricane” probe that were newly made public by the Trump administration. Some of the material is familiar, released in 2021 by Mr. Trump on the final day of his first term....

President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he delegated “everything” as commander-in-chief to Vice President Kamala Harris, including foreign policy and domestic policy. The acknowledgment is significant because it contradicts Harris’s talking points. Harris has tried multiple times to distance herself from the Biden-Harris record. “My approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment. And also, to be very honest with you, my focus is very much in what we need to do over the next ten, twenty years to catch up to the twenty first century,” Harris told Brian Taff of Philadelphia’s Action News...

...something strange has happened since Biden's ouster: the country went back to ignoring Joe Biden's senility...last week, Biden turned over a full Cabinet meeting to his wife who sat herself at the head of the table and proceeded to lecture Constitutional appointees on women's health issues. Within 48 hours, Biden completely forgot the world leader he was supposed to introduce at a Quad summit, snarling at his aides, "Thank you all for being here and now, uhh, who am I introducing next? Who's next?" The leader, as it turns out, was Narendra Modi, prime minister of the most populous country...

Donald Trump has warned Kamala Harris's campaign donors that they will not escape his retribution if they play a role in a 2024 election 'steal'. The GOP candidate promised he would not allow a repeat of the 'rampant Cheating and Skullduggery' he claims cost him the White House in 2020, and threatened unprecedented legal action against those who try. Posting on X and his own Truth Social channel under the heading 'cease and desist' he said 'lawyers, political operatives, donors, illegal voters, and corrupt election officials' would all find themselves targeted. The swipe at donors came as Trump's Democrat rival...

Since Robert Hur's report, are we able to conclude that Biden is not of sound mind? . .Answer: Yes . . If so, according to Contract Law, then is anything that Biden has signed or will sign, including Hunter's upcoming pardon, a legally enforceable document? . . This concept could be a novel approach for Trump to use, when he is sworn in to office this January. . . Who/how will Team Biden mount a challenge to this concept? . . This angle of attack could give Trump an advantage, once sworn in.

Look at the contrast between how Secret Service treats people near Jill Biden versus how they treated a gunman wandering around a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Joe and Jill Biden took a taxpayer-funded weeklong vacation in Santa Ynez, California last week. Secret Service agents violently pushed peasants out of the way so Jill Biden could go on a shopping spree on Friday afternoon. Jill Biden made a ‘surprise visit’ in Los Olivos and bystanders with cameras were roughly cleared out. One woman was violently pushed away. “Out of the roadway! Move now! Go!” one member of Jill Biden’s security...

An opinion piece in The Hill posits that Democrats could spring the ultimate October surprise by making Kamala Harris president before the election in November.Douglas MacKinnon notes that “This is already the most surreal presidential election of our lifetimes,” and that it could get even more bizarre.He adds, “I wrote several times in this space over the last two years that I never believed Biden would be the nominee, and I was proven right. I also honestly believe Trump will pull away from Harris come September and October.”“So, what then? How would the Democrats and the Harris campaign react to...

This warped election violates every prior precedent and is not just creepy but dangerous—even before the campaign was supposed to formally begin. The already-long 2024 presidential campaign has become the strangest in modern history. Here are ten unanswered questions that illustrate how and why we’ve entered this bizarro world: 1. How can Kamala Harris merely promise us fixes to come in 2025 for inflation and an open border when she is still vice president for another six months? Why can’t she enact her proposed solutions to these problems (which she helped create) right now? 2. Would the media prefer to...

Biden announced his intention to drop out of the race July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's nominee.MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Former US President Barack Obama threatened Joe Biden with removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution if he did not withdraw from the presidential race, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has claimed. Obama told Biden he had gotten the approval of US Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the safeguard against presidential incapacity, Hersh said in a blog post on Substack. The journalist noted that, in accordance with the 25th Amendment to...

Apresident without a vice president is like a captain without a first mate, but some U.S. presidents — four, to be precise — have nevertheless had to serve without one. They were John Tyler (1841-1845), Millard Fillmore (1850-1853), Andrew Johnson (1865-1869), and Chester A. Arthur (1881-1885), all of whom ascended to the presidency when their predecessors died in office. Because the 25th Amendment didn’t lay out an official process for naming a new VP in such an event until 1967, those four commanders in chief simply went without one. All four failed to win reelection; some even failed to secure...

What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency. Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — on social media. Joe Biden's ghosted us!...Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to clean up Aisle 9 on X with a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.... Why didn't Biden, like LBJ before him, announce his monumental decision to stand down during a primetime...

Pressure to step aside as nominee continues to mount against President Joe Biden from members of his own party following a disastrous debate performance that put Biden’s cognitive decline on full display. But if Democrats want to get rid of Biden as nominee, they need to use the 25th Amendment. Anything else is an attempted coup. More than a dozen congressional Democrats have called on Biden to step down as the nominee alongside left-wing talking heads and Hollywood elites. Reports indicate former President Barack Obama is also nudging his former No. 2 to pass the torch. Democrats want to have...

Concerns about President Biden’s mental sharpness and calls for him to drop out of the race have sparked questions about the 25th Amendment and what role Vice President Kamala Harris would play in triggering that process. The 25th Amendment allows for the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unfit for office. The vice president then becomes acting president. However, the section of the amendment specifically addressing this procedure has never been invoked. "The 25th amendment process was designed to be difficult." Jonathan Turley told Fox News Digital. "It is highly doubtful that Harris will...

I tried looking up the number of times that Democrats and MSM figures called for Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump, but I couldn't find a reliable source. What I did find was something I didn't recall: the Democrat House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on Pence to depose Trump in January 2021--just days before Trump was scheduled to leave office. It was widely discussed in the media then, and many, many times during his presidency. It makes sense. After all, within 20 minutes (no, I am not exaggerating in this case), The Washington Post...

A post-debate poll, published Friday, shows former President Donald Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris by more than he leads President Joe Biden as talk among Democrats has turned to replacing Biden with Harris at the top of the 2024 Democrat presidential ticket.

Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch reports that Biden will resign on Monday (8 July) I guess that would make Kamala Harris President. https://www.facebook.com/realTomFitton/

The Democrats’ public struggle session over what to do with the problem of Joe Biden must end. They know, we know, and, most terrifyingly, America’s enemies know that our commander-in-chief is mentally incompetent. As such, the answer is clear, and the Constitution provides it: Joe Biden must be removed from office and the vice president sworn in as president. The only (proper) question for Biden and his party is whether the removal will be voluntary, under Section 3 of the 25th Amendment, or forced, under Section 4. Will Biden transmit “his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the...

President Joe Biden delivered an address from the White House last night on the presidential immunity decision by the Supreme Court. While pledging that he will defend the rule of law, President Biden misrepresented what that law is in the aftermath of Trump v. United States.While we have often discussed false constitutional claims by the President as well as other false statements, an address of this kind is particularly concerning in misleading citizens on the meaning of one of the most important decisions in history.As I have previously written, I am not someone who has favored expansive presidential powers. As...

Now let’s get to it. For background, Chief Justice John Roberts, in writing for the majority, answered the following question: “Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.” The Court provided three answers based on the classifications of the President’s conduct: A President has absolute immunity when he exercises his core constitutional powers: “Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the re­sponsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitu­tion.” A President has presumptive immunity from criminal...
