  • A Radical Company is Paying Supreme Court Justices Millions

    And that has crippled the Court.. Last year, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, despite being in her early 50s and having an undistinguished career before her affirmative action appointment, published a memoir. You might be forgiven for having missed it when “Lovely One” came out. As the media politely notes, it was “briefly” on the New York Times bestseller list and is now going for half price on Amazon. That is mostly to be expected of the ghostwritten memoir of an obscure judge. Except that Jackson received a $893,750 advance for her memoir and is now reporting $2 million in profits...

    NY Times ^ | August 22, 2004 | DAHLIA LITHWICK
    early 80 years ago in Dayton, Tenn., an epic trial pitted the literal truth of the Bible against modern science. And when the Scopes monkey trial concluded, the presiding judge closed the proceedings as he'd opened them each day - with a prayer. In his wonderful book, "Summer for the Gods," Edward J. Larson paints a picture of America in the mid-1920's that's oddly familiar: torn between modernism and religious fundamentalism, Americans felt an old-time burning need for a burning bush. Horrified by the moral and cultural declines of the Jazz Age, they turned away from internationalism and intellectualism. Welcome...

    The visual alone is disturbing enough, but now we've learned Jill Biden's 'work husband' is refusing to appear before Congress. BREAKING: Jill Biden’s longtime aide Anthony Bernal is DEFYING Congress and REFUSING to testify tomorrow about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline after the White House waived his executive privilege. He’s running scared. The cover-up is collapsing. We will subpoena him immediately. Read Chairman @RepJamesComer's statement: “Now that the White House has waived executive privilege, it’s abundantly clear that Anthony Bernal – Jill Biden’s so-called ‘work husband’ – never intended to be transparent about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the ensuing cover-up....

    A key Biden White House staffer is refusing to testify before Congress about former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, the House Oversight Committee announced Wednesday.According to Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., Anthony Bernal, who served as former assistant to Joe Biden and senior adviser to First Lady Jill Biden, is declining to appear for his previously scheduled transcribed interview with the committee on Thursday. As described by a committee press release, this interview was expected to be a part of the committee’s investigation into “the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline and potentially unauthorized use of autopen for sweeping...

    A top former aide to former President Joe Biden testified behind closed doors Tuesday for more than four hours as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into his mental fitness to serve and his White House’s use of an autopen, confirming she was authorized to use the automatic signature device while pushing back on concerns about alleged manipulation or malfeasance. Neera Tanden, who served as director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, explained in her opening remarks Tuesday that she was given authority to wield the autopen. She said she “was responsible for handling the flow of documents...

    U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright is slamming the Biden administration for what he calls an “absolutely infuriating” last-minute spending spree, revealing that more than $90 billion in green energy loans were pushed through by the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office in the weeks between President Donald Trump’s 2024 reelection and his January inauguration. In an interview with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matt Boyle, Wright detailed the results of a newly completed review of the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, revealing that “more than $90 billion in loans were closed or committed in the 76 days between...

    What's that saying about actions and consequences? Former Biden administration officials should probably freshen up on it because they are about to learn a hard lesson. According to a new report, President Donald Trump has removed any claim of executive privilege regarding ex-Biden officials testifying in the House Oversight Committee probe regarding the former president's senility. Neera Tanden, who now spends her time getting embarrassed by Scott Jennings on CNN, was the subject of a White House counsel letter making it clear that executive privilege claims are "not justified." It goes on to "authorize" Tanden to speak openly and honestly...

    Here it is. Ex-Biden official Neera Tanden admitted under oath to the House Oversight Committee during a closed-door testimony on Tuesday that she controlled Joe Biden’s autopen. House Oversight Chairman James Comer recently identified five Biden aides who were involved in the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline and autopen scandal. Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden was brought before the Committee on Tuesday and admitted she was authorized to use Joe Biden’s autopen between October 2021 to May 2023. According to the Washington Examiner, Neera Tanden testified that she was also authorized to direct the autopen, however, she...

    On Monday’s America This Week Walter Kirn read from a bizarre introduction to his 75th Anniversary edition paperback edition of 1984. Written by Harvard-educated author Dolen Perkins-Valdez, it came with a trigger warning. I had to go looking for the foreword by Perkins-Valdez, a black female writer whose Twitter page features a line from the “discussion questions” portion of her book Take My Hand: “History repeats what we don’t remember.”In Take My Hand Perkins-Valdez stressed the importance of remembering episodes like the Tuskegee syphilis experiments and the use of the Henrietta Lacks cell line. Her essay about 1984 argues at...

    For those who lived through the Great Depression, the strangeness of it was hard to convey. The nation had suffered no great natural disaster. The farmers were still farming, and the factories were still standing. Yet there lay rotting food that people couldn’t afford to buy and empty factories next to shanty towns filled with the unemployed. In 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the presidency with the promise to restore prosperity. But he and his advisers had no clear explanation for the collapse and his subsequent New Deal would amount to a series of experiments. FDR admitted to the nation...

    Well, Peter Schweizer, who wrote about the allegedly shady dealings of the Clinton Foundation, is back at it with Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends. The Obamas, Bidens, and Mitch McConnell are all detailed with their questionable business practices. For Obama, Schweizer noted that he used executive powers to attack certain industries, which allowed investment firms, who were run by his friends, to buy them at a reduced price (via Washington Examiner): https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2018/03/28/secret-empires-obamas-used-his-executive-powers-to-help-his-friends-investmen-n2463294

    New York magazine writer Charlotte Klein is really annoyed with former Biden White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre. What bothers Klein isn't the fact that KJP was utterly incompetent as now attested to by her former fellow White House colleagues, nor even the fact that she is obviously grifting with the launch of her new self-serving book. No, what irks Klein is the word "independent" which KJP has latched onto with her announcement that she is leaving the Democrat party.You get an idea of just how obsessed Klein is by "independent" by the fact that she obsessively repeats that word...
  • REVEALED: Joe Biden Used Autopen to ‘Sign’ All Pardons During His Final Weeks In Office With One Glaring Exception

    Fox News has uncovered that almost every pardon and act of clemency Biden signed for over 1,500 criminals during his final weeks in office was via autopen. These included preemptive pardons for several members of his family, Anthony Fauci, and General Mark Milley. But Biden made an exception for the man he once called “the smartest guy I know”: his only surviving son, Hunter. In the document below, you can see Joe Biden’s crooked-looking signature. As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor previously reported, Joe Biden granted his son Hunter Biden a blanket pardon in the federal gun and tax cases against him...

On Wednesday President Trump directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.” Trump announced: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum directing an investigation into who ran the United States...

    We saw it after Watergate. The parties involved with almost every aspect of the cover-up cut some sort of book deal. Woodward and Bernstein wrote All the President’s Men which amplified their involvement as members of the media. G. Gordon Liddy wrote Will where he accepted responsibility for his actions. John Dean penned Blind Ambition to paint himself in a favorable light. Most got hefty advances from publishers for their tomes, and a few got movie deals. After Watergate there were cries to prevent this kind of profiteering, but nothing was done.Now, with Biden’s mental collapse, we see the grifters...
