MILWAUKEE — President Biden could secure the Democratic nomination for a potential second term as early as this month thanks to electronic voting by delegates, The Post has learned — a move seen by critics as trying to shove him through the process. Electronic delegate voting had been discussed before the embattled 81-year-old president’s disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump on June 27. But details about the timeline are only taking shape now, and the perception among some party stalwarts is that his camp wants to hurry things along — while critics try to slam the brakes on the process...

Joe Biden sat down with Democrat operative George Stephanopoulos for an interview on ABC News on Friday. The interview with a total dumpster fire.Stephanopoulos repeatedly asked Biden about his cognitive decline.“Are you the same man today that you were when you took office three-and-a-half years ago?” Stephanopoulos asked. “Do you dispute that there have been more lapses, especially in the last several months?” Stephanopoulos asked.“Can I run the 100 in 10 flat? No. But I’m still in good shape,” Biden said.Stephanopoulos pressed Biden, “Are you more frail?”“No,” Biden said.Stephanopoulos also pointed to several polls showing Trump is beating Joe Biden...

First lady Jill Biden is unleashing fury at those who are trying to force President Joe Biden to quit his re-election campaign following his disastrous debate performance last week against former President Donald Trump. ABC News host Martha Raddatz said following Biden’s interview with the network on Friday that sources inside the White House have told her that Biden’s “very tight inner circle” is pushing Biden to stay in the race and that he will win as long as he keeps going. “This of course includes his wife Jill who they said is lashing out at those who want him...

Latest reports indicates that legal scholars suggest that Democratic strategists may be exploring a controversial loophole that could potentially bring former President Barack Obama back to the White House. The proposed strategy involves nominating Obama as President Joe Biden's running mate in the 2024 election, positioning him to succeed Biden should he step down after the election as reported by NEWSMAX on July 4, 2024. According to constitutional experts, this move hinges on the interpretation of the 22nd Amendment, which prohibits a person from being elected to the presidency more than twice. However, the amendment does not explicitly forbid a...

Today, on June 28th, 2024, a significant event occurred in my life that I will always remember. My name is Ryan Samsel, and last night, I witnessed Donald J. Trump’s victory over Joe Biden. As always, I said my nightly prayer and woke up feeling a sense of goodness that I can’t quite explain. Then, someone informed me that the Supreme Court overturned the 1512(c) charges. I was in a state of shock and disbelief, unable to fully comprehend the news. Let me begin by sharing that I have endured immense suffering and hardships throughout this entire ordeal since January...

Kudos to Sen. Ted Cruz for sharing this thread as we're not sure we would have seen it if he hadn't. And clearly, it's a very important thread. Seems Biden's DHS planned to target Trump supporters as domestic extremists. Oh we know, Biden basically said as much out loud during his fascist-like speech in Philadelphia long ago but still, seeing it in black and white is insane. Take a look at this from America First Legal: /1🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 Internal docs from Biden’s DHS show their plans to target Trump supports as domestic extremists. The Brennan-Clapper intel group discussed how “most of...

The federal government is on a spending spree and you’re paying for it, but President Biden is taking credit. The White House is urging federal agencies to put Mr. Biden’s name on signs wherever they spend money. His team has even provided templates to show how to give him top billing.Sen. Joni Ernst, Iowa Republican, says it’s unseemly and may be against the law.“Folks, political campaign signs are not infrastructure. It’s obvious the real intent of these posters is to pave the way for Biden’s reelection,” the senator said.In a letter to the White House, she said the signs are...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: THE BIDEN-GARLAND DOJ IS PLANNING MAXIMUM RESISTENCE TO THE HOUSE RESOLUTION DECLARING THE JAN 6 COMMITTEE INVALID TO KEEP STEVE BANNON OUT OF JAIL

A New York Appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s bid to appeal a gag order in Alvin Bragg’s case after a jury already returned a guilty verdict. President Trump previously asked the Court to lift the gag order “because the trial has concluded.” Biden’s DOJ hatchet man Matthew Colangelo earlier this month asked Merchan to keep the gag order in place to “avoid threats to the fairness of the trial itself.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) unsealed an indictment Monday for a Texas surgeon who was charged after blowing the whistle on a children's hospital performing sex change procedures on minors...

The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) will not prosecute Attorney General Merrick Garland for contempt of Congress. In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson released late on Friday, the DOJ, overseen by the Attorney General, argued that the House Republican‘s contempt resolution does not preempt Joe Biden‘s assertion of executive privilege regarding audio records of two interviews he sat for with special counsel Robert Hur. Garland was held in contempt for refusing to furnish the recordings to Congress.“The longstanding position of the Department is that we will not prosecute an official for contempt of Congress for declining to provide...

A member of the Federal Election Commission testified to Congress on Thursday that the Manhattan district attorney who led the prosecution of former President Donald Trump overstepped his authority. Trey Trainor, a Trump-appointed commissioner who once served as FEC chairman, said during a hearing that District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, inappropriately incorporated a federal election campaign law into his charges against Trump.“Bragg has effectively usurped the jurisdiction that this Congress has explicitly reserved for federal authorities,” Trainor said during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. “This overreach sets a troubling precedent for politicization of legal proceedings at the state...

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. After a week where the polls didn’t give the Biden-Harris ticket the bump Democrats were hoping for, Vice President Kamala Harris escalated her criticism of presumptive GOP presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump on Saturday, arguing his conviction on 34 questionable felony counts in a Manhattan court ought to be “disqualifying.” The speech, given at a Democratic Party dinner Saturday in Detroit, gave Harris the opportunity to up the rhetoric over what she termed Trump’s “attacks” on the justice system, according to Politico. “You know why he complains? Because the reality...

Ronald Reagan famously spoke about “Morning in America.” Now the chimes are tolling midnight, as the lawless Biden regime and its judicial allies cooperate to imprison the president’s opponents and prominent dissidents against the totalitarian left. Judges are sneering at old ladies they imprison for peaceful pro-life protests. The U.S. Department of Justice is trying to jail whistleblowers for exposing the transgender butchery of children. The presumptive Republican nominee for president is facing jail time for a made-up crime after a sick joke of a trial with a biased judge who lied to the jury about the law. And now...

The special prosecutor’s overreach and the trial judge’s open bias are equally disturbing. Just when you thought the “swamp” judicial system could sink no lower, an Elon Musk-X petition to the Supreme Court reminds us about Jack Smith’s and a leftist judge’s complete disrespect for Americans’ constitutional freedom from intrusive government searches. The information emerges in X Corp.’s petition for a writ of certiorari relating to a court order arising from a search warrant that special counsel, Mr. Jack Smith (yes, that one), served on X demanding data and records from former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account. The problem from...

The FBI on Wednesday arrested four men from Pennsylvania on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges related to the January 6 protest. 75-year-old retired NASCAR driver Tighe Scott and his son Carl Scott, 48, Scott Slater Sr. 56, and Scott Alex Slater Jr., 26 were arrested on Wednesday. Via the Justice Department:

Attorney General Merrick Garland said this week that he will defy subpoenas from Congressional Republicans that he does not agree with.Garland’s statement came after Republican leaders in Congress threatened to hold him in contempt “in their efforts to gain access to audio recordings from special counsel Robert K. Hur’s investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified materials,” according to the Washington Post.

Is the United States becoming a Third World nation? This question has long been on the edge of polite conversation, but former President Trump’s conviction in two New York courts has pushed the query to the forefront. The short answer is that while this slide was once unthinkable, it currently seems “unlikely.” Worse, all the trends point to its increasing likelihood. What generally defines “Third World” includes pervasive poverty, dilapidated infrastructure, lack of sanitation, inadequate modern healthcare, rampant crime, ineffective education, and violent political instability often reflecting ethnic rivalries, not democratic elections. Law reflects the whim of the powerful; not...

President Joe Biden said Thursday on ABC’s “World News Tonight” that former President Donald Trump, his 2024 Republican opponent, got a “fair trial” when asked about Trump’s guilty verdict by a Manhattan jury on 34 counts of falsifying business records. “World News Tonight” anchor David Muir said, “You did address Donald Trump and the guilty verdicts on 34 felony counts before the American people. You told Americans to respect the jury and the outcome of this case. You were at a campaign fund-raiser, and you told the room a convicted felon is now seeking the office of a presidency. You...

Even those who dislike the former President see a case of legal and political malpractice.How dare Mitt Romney. And Sens. Susan Collins and Mitch McConnell. The anti-Trump press corps is dismayed that Republicans of all stripes, even those who aren’t fond of Donald Trump, have criticized the Manhattan prosecution and guilty verdict. The media coverage after the verdict has followed the usual Trump-era pattern. Democrats pursue some anti-Trump operation—impeachment, a Russia collusion probe, a prosecution. The press then descends as one to chide Republicans, with the unsubtle implication that they must be unethical sellouts if they oppose what Democrats are...
