That poses a problem for Biden, who shed the faux centrist label that he used for the campaign once he took office, but there is a larger issue at play. Biden is losing ground among black and Hispanic working-class voters because those voters are not the priority of the Democratic Party anymore. The Democratic Party is run by elitists, for elitists, and that means leaving behind blue-collar workers of all races.

Donald Trump on Sunday vehemently denied directing a staffer to delete security footage at Mar-a-Lago. Special Counsel Jack Smith had lodged three additional charges against the embattled former president Thursday night, including over Trump allegedly telling an underling to have surveillance footage scrubbed after the Justice Department subpoenaed for it last year. “MAR-A-LAGO SECURITY TAPES WERE NOT DELETED. THEY WERE VOLUNTARILY HANDED OVER TO THE THUGS, HEADED UP BY DERANGED JACK SMITH,” Trump wrote in all caps on Truth Social. “WE DID NOT EVEN GO TO COURT TO STOP THEM FROM GETTING THESE TAPES. I NEVER TOLD ANYBODY TO DELETE...

In a bombshell statement, Donald Trump accused the Biden Justice Department’s special counsel Jack Smith of prosecutorial misconduct for pushing false charges that the former president had deleted security tapes related to the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. Smith last week issued three superseding indictments to the 37-counts already being pursued, adding one additional Espionage Act charge, stemming from Trump’s alleged willful retention of national defense information, and two additional counts of obstruction for allegedly attempting to delete surveillance footage at Mar-a-Lago. Trump at the time blasted the move as blatant election interference, and in a series of Truth Social posts...

"What was more scandalous than the reporting itself though, is the fact that it exposed the unholy alliance between the intelligence community, social media platforms, and legacy media outlets." Speaking before during the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government’s hearing on Thursday morning, Breitbart politics editor Emma-Jo Morris spoke on the censorship she experienced in 2020 after publishing the initial story on the now-infamous Hunter Biden laptop at the New York Post. Morris said the laptop was "some of the most scandalous reporting of the last decade," but added that "what was more scandalous than the reporting...

When the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg accepted a $1 million prize from a liberal billionaire’s foundation, she pledged to pass the money to a list of designated charities. Four years later, it is unclear where Ginsburg sent that money—an ambiguity that experts say raises conflict of interest concerns. The Berggruen Institute, a private foundation founded by billionaire investor Nicolas Berggruen, awarded Ginsburg its annual $1 million Philosophy & Culture award during a swanky star-studded event in December 2019. At the time, ethics experts raised red flags over Ginsburg’s acceptance of the prize, noting that the bounty far...

House Republicans are debating whether to focus impeachment efforts on Attorney General Merrick Garland after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) suggested an inquiry against him, taking some members by surprise after much of the GOP impeachment furor had been directed at other Biden officials. In a year where the GOP has been most steadily focused on possible impeachments of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas or President Biden, McCarthy often has been the voice urging the conference to move patiently and deliberately. But he has shown more vigor when eyeing Garland, an official leading an agency often derided by the GOP but...

Obama-nominated SCOTUS justice has seen net worth spike during tenure on high court.. Sonia Sotomayor's net worth has increased significantly since joining the nation's highest court, according to financial disclosure forms amid new revelations about the Supreme Court justice's efforts to promote her books. Sotomayor's net worth has skyrocketed, putting her among the ranks of the nation's millionaires. In 2021, her investments totaled somewhere between $1.5 million and $6.4 million, .... One reason for the sharp increase in Sotomayor's investments and overall wealth is the money she's made from writing books. .. her staff has often "prodded" public institutions that...

Well, it was another banner week from the six unelected zealots who apparently make all of America's public policy decisions. Yet even after the hard-right supermajority on the Supreme Court torched affirmative action, greenlit all manner of ugly discrimination against LGBTQ Americans and yanked up to $20,000 from millions of indebted borrowers, President Biden and his allies still can't bring themselves to threaten or even contemplate serious reform to the judicial branch. Instead, they seem content to watch our very own Guardian Council wreak total havoc on American society...

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and an NBC News reporter had a tense interview published Monday that widely centered around his conspiratorial views on vaccines, with the reporter calling their encounter "unsettling." Described by NBC News' Brandy Zadrozny as "one of the world's foremost conspiracy theorists," Kennedy was pushed on why he was running as a Democrat given his appeal to some corners of the political right, why he touts the unfounded theory of childhood vaccinations being linked to autism and the longshot nature of his 2024 challenge to President Biden for the Democratic nomination.

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden released a statement after Hunter Biden’s plea deal Tuesday that suggested their son is a victim who is rebuilding his life. “The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life,” they said through White House spokesman Ian Sams. “We will have no further comment,” the statement concluded.

Sen. Chuck Grassley implied the FBI may have defined the scope of its Hunter Biden investigation so narrowly, bribery allegations couldn’t be probed.Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, rarely asks a question to which he doesn’t know the answer. When the question concerns the politicization and weaponization of the FBI, you can bet some damning information rests behind his query. So when Grassley asked on Thursday whether bribery was within the parameters of Delaware’s investigation into Hunter Biden, it likely means the FBI defined the scope of the federal investigation into the president’s son so narrowly that agents lacked the authority to...

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) removed the “entire investigative team” working on the Hunter Biden case at the request of President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), a whistleblower told Congress on Monday. The whistleblower has supervised the Hunter Biden investigation since 2020, the New York Post reported.

Former US Attorney Brett L. Tolman slammed the plea deal walking scandal Hunter Biden just got with the Department of Justice that will see the former crackhead avoid all jail time and not see any charges stemming from his foreign business dealings. Tolman said: “DOJ is violating its own internal policies on this case. The Ashcroft Memo requires they charge the “highest provable offense” and seek consistent sentences with other cases brought by DOJ. This prosecution is an absolute laughable joke. “Thousands have been sent to prison for long terms for the same charges. They are ignoring decades of policy...

As a physician I was told by the hospital there was a 90 minute meeting that was REQUIRED I needed to put on my schedule. Turns out it was a “seminar” of sorts. A guest speaker was brought in who was a consultant in communications. The reason (announced in advance) was the guest speaker was a being brought in as part of a campaign to “change the business model” of the hospital. Seems the “businessmen” realized the organization was suffering “from a lack of input by the physicians (insightful, eh?). There wanted to transform the model to include physicians in...

Lindsey Graham today at a Senate Hearing spoke on the Biden Bribe Investigation. Unbelievably, Graham says if the FBi is Investigating this, we need to BACK OFF! He’s a Senator, so he talks out of both sides of his mouth, but after not Investigating this years ago when the Republicans controlled the Senate, he know says Congress Needs to back off, if the FBi or DoJ says it’s being Investigated!

Washington reporters have been given the green light to go after Joe Biden. Joe Biden on Tuesday afternoon walked by a group of reporters after delivering remarks at the Chiefs of Mission reception in the East Room. A reporter ambushed Joe Biden and asked him about the Ukraine bribery scheme alleging he received a $5 million bribe from Mykola Zlochevsky, the Ukrainian oligarch who runs Burisma Holdings. ..... Snip..... New York Post reporter Steven Nelson surprised Joe Biden when he asked about the Ukraine-bribery scheme and audio recordings of him and his son Hunter. “Are there tapes that you accepted...

In a new twist in the investigation into the Biden crime family’s shady foreign business dealings, a former Obama official has come forward alleging he has evidence the then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a “kickback scheme” with his son Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings. The unlikely source will add new weight to the investigation and further legitimize the claims that Joe Biden is a criminal. Mike McCormick, who served in the Obama White House as a stenographer for 15 years, said the FBI completely ignored him when he offered to testify under oath before the federal grand jury...

Whistleblowers have emerged over the last several years to accuse the Biden administration of mishandling the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, politicizing federal law enforcement agencies and shielding evidence related to a "criminal scheme" Joe Biden allegedly engaged in as vice president. Whistleblower protections are enshrined in federal statute, and federal law protects these disclosures. The protocol is for a whistleblower to first go to an immediate supervisor or the supervisor in charge with the issue at hand. If the whistleblower believes that reaching out to a supervisor could jeopardize his or her well-being or that supervisor is implicated in...

Federal regulators on Tuesday ordered Wells Fargo Bank to pay a $1.7 billion civil penalty and more than $2 billion in compensation to customers for what they say was "illegal activity affecting over 16 million consumer accounts." The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Wells Fargo "repeatedly misapplied loan payments, wrongfully foreclosed on homes and illegally repossessed vehicles, incorrectly assessed fees and interest, charged surprise overdraft fees," among other things. Thousands of customers lost their vehicles and homes due to the bank's activity over the course of several years, the federal regulators said. The $1.7 billion fine will go to the...

President Joe Biden shared a story Friday of conversations he had with his father and uncle when he was elected vice president, although both were dead at the time he claimed he had the exchanges. The president made remarks about his family history during a town hall event for veterans in Delaware. He said: You know, I — my dad, when I got elected vice president, he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, ‘And he won...
