Biden’s Former Staffers Pen Obituary-Style Tribute: ‘Thank you, Boss’

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Former Senate and campaign aides to President Joe Biden purchased a full-page ad in a local Delaware newspaper, paying tribute to Biden’s 50 years in public service. 

The letter, published in the Sunday News Journal, featured the names of 250 former Biden staffers and echoed the somber tone often found in obituaries. 

“Thank you, Boss,” read the headline, accompanied by an undated photo of Biden. 

In the piece, the former aides credited Biden with teaching them “the value of an honest day’s work” and showing them “the nobility of a life spent in service to others.” 

The letter follows Biden’s withdrawal from the Democratic presidential race, a decision the president took under private and public pressure from the party’s bosses.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries were among the prominent Democrats pushing for Biden to step aside.  

Former President Barack Obama is rumored to be the chief architect behind what one New York Times columnist and many Republicans called a “coup.” 

Despite Biden’s forced exit, his former aides praised his “four years of faithful service” and so-called sacrifice. 

They added, “Every day, in every situation, your contributions still matter in the most consequential and meaningful ways. You have brought honor and dignity to every office you have held, and we consider ourselves blessed to have been a small part of your journey.” 

The letter conveniently ignored allegations that Biden sexually assaulted his former aide Tara Reade in 1993.

Moreover, several women accused Biden of inappropriate contact, including kissing, touching and hair-smelling during the height of the #MeToo movement in 2019. 

Concluding the letter, the former aides nostalgically mimicked the tone of Pelosi’s claim that Biden is “a Mount Rushmore-kind-of-president of the United States.”

They wrote, “As you head to the Democratic National Convention this week and prepare to pass the torch to a new generation, we humbly join the millions of people who praise your incredible body of work and we honor your example as a son, a brother, husband, a father, an uncle a grandfather, a teacher, a leader… and a friend.” 

Chicago Businesses Brace for Rowdy, Violent DNC Protests

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Is it a tornado? A flood? A hurricane? No, it’s the Democratic National Convention and leftist protesters that are forcing Chicago businesses to board up their windows. 

Headline USA spoke with Chicago Board Up Service, one of the largest window boarding companies in the area, about the surge of businesses seeking to fortifying their windows against anticipated anti-Israeli protests.

In a brief phone interview on Sunday afternoon, Vicki Fichter of Chicago Board Up Service confirmed that there has been an increase in companies using their board-up protections ahead of the DNC. 

Fichter explained that businesses are specifically concerned about potential unrest during the convention, which is scheduled to begin on Aug. 19 and end on Aug. 22 in downtown Chicago. ABC-7 Chicago was the first outlet to report on these developments.

Fichter could not immediately identify any other instances when asked whether businesses had previously boarded up their buildings for other social events, such as concerts.

Chicago Board Up Service specializes in protecting properties from damage caused by smoke, fire, flood, natural disasters, vandalism, break-ins, car accidents, weather, water and now, of course, protesters.

The board-up services range from $350 and go up to $1,000 depending on the number of windows, glass and other services required, Fichter told Headline USA. 

Several videos shared on social media show numerous wooden boarded-up businesses across Chicago, highlighting the widespread concern among local owners. This is reminiscent of 2020, when several businesses boarded up their windows and doors in anticipation of potential unrest if President Donald Trump had been re-elected.

In the summer of 2020, businesses were again forced to board up in response to the violent looting tied to Black Lives Matter protests following George Floyd’s killing.

Democrats are expected to face a rampant group of pro-Palestinian hecklers upset at American support for Israel’s military operations inside the Gaza Strip, where Hamas still holds several dozen hostages. 

This anti-Israeli group previously disrupted the Rockefeller Christmas Tree lighting. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have both been heckled by these groups.

Hatem Abudayyeh, chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, said the hecklers’ target is the Democratic Party as a whole. 

“We feel that their administration is responsible for this ongoing war and genocide,” he said in a soft-ball interview with The Washington Post.  

Notably, there is no genocide in Gaza. Instead, Israeli forces are in Gaza after Hamas savagely killed roughly 1,200 individuals in southern Israel on Oct. 7. 

Busted: Kamala’s Campaign Rhetoric Echoes Nazi-era Program

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party, with the legacy media’s help, have repeatedly used the word “joy” as a campaign slogan, alarmingly similar to one used by the Nazi government of Germany in the 1930s.

After seizing control of Germany, the Nazis launched the “Strength Through Joy” program, or “Kraft durch Freude,” to promote the “Aryan” people.

The program included athletic and cultural activities for the German people, such as musical festivals and sporting events, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Fast forward to 2024, and Harris is campaigning for president with a message of “bringing back the joy” to America through music and other festivities. 

The Democratic Party echoed this message in a Thursday post on X, claiming, “Thank you for bringing back the joy.” The post also included a video labeling the Harris-Walz ticket as “the joy ticket.

The legacy media has mirrored this message in their coverage of the 2024 race. The New York Times headlined an Aug. 9 article, “Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign.” Similarly, the Associated Press reported, “Harris is pushing joy. Trump paints a darker picture. Will mismatched moods matter?”

Further examples include Vanity Fair’s “Sweet Emotion: How the Harris-Walz Ticket Wields Joy Against Donald Trump” and Rolling Stone’s “Why Kamala Harris’ New Politics of Joy Is the Best Way to Fight Fascism.” 

This last headline is particularly ironic, as critics point out that the Nazi regime used “joy” to further its fascist and brutal control over the population, as reported first by TownHall.

“The word ‘Joy’ has been used by authoritarian political movements to distract from atrocities they commit against their own people. And it started in 1930s Germany… oops,” commented best-selling author Chadwick Moore on X. 

Dr. Hans Mahncke, a legal scholar and author, shared the “Strength Through Joy” logo, in an apparent reference to Harris’s use of the word “joy” in the campaign trail.

This is not the first time Harris has faced accusations of resembling Nazi imagery. 

In September 2022, President Joe Biden, Harris’s boss, delivered a dark speech criticizing Republicans as threats to democracy. He stood against a dark red background with two soldiers behind him, evoking imagery used by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s. 

The left might dismiss the resemblance as ludicrous. However, it is worth noting that they levied similar comparisons against the Trump 2020 campaign.  

In July 2020, the media criticized the Trump campaign for featuring “The Great Seal of America” on t-shirts. Critics claimed the American Bald Eagle resembled a Nazi symbol. The t-shirts featured then-campaign aide Harrison Floyd, a black man, who is now battling charges by vicious prosecutor Fani Willis. 

Tim Murtaugh, then-communications director at the Trump campaign, dismissed the accusation as “moronic.” 

He told USA Today, “In Democrats’ America, Mount Rushmore glorifies white supremacy and the bald eagle with an American flag is a Nazi symbol. They have lost their minds.” 

A month earlier, the left ridiculously accused the Trump campaign of mimicking Nazi Germany by featuring an inverted triangle used by the Nazis to identify communists in the 1930s. Murtaugh noted that the red triangle is actually an Antifa symbol.

Kamala’s Stepdaughter Endorses ‘Ketamine’—Drug Behind Matthew Perry’s Death

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Ella Emhoff, the stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, recommended her followers to check out a list of pain medicines that included “ketamine infusions,” the same drug that killed actor Matthew Perry.

The DOJ, led by the Biden-Harris administration, announced an 18-count superseding indictment against the suspects accused of administering Perry a fatal overdose of ketamine in October 2023. 

Seemingly aware of the dangers of ketamine, Ella, 25, disclaimed on Instagram, “These are all just recommendations made to me these should not be taken as medical advice i am just a girl trynna [sic] feel less pain.”

Ella’s referral to ketamine followed her Tuesday Instagram post, where she revealed she was born with a “tethered spine.” This was first reported by the New York Post on Saturday.

She explained that this condition “caused my back to not properly lengthen when I was growing and cause a kyphosis (hunchback).”

In the same post, she added, “Was in and out of doctors and PT for most of my adolescence Got lower back surgery grew a million inches and now deal with chronic pain.” 

The next day, Ella shared a “Big Pain Management List,” which included “ketamine infusions” as one of the recommended medications, according to the New York Post. 

Chiropractor Dr. Michael Harbison scolded Ella’s list in remarks to the newspaper. He warned that there are “far better options out there to deal with pain” than ketamine. The doctor warned that these medications “are basically just getting you high.” 

Ella is no stranger to controversy, with her posts about ketamine marking the third time she comes under fire for her Instagram posts. 

In March 2024, Harris’s stepdaughter came under fire after she urged her followers (over 300,000 of them) to donate to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). This is the same group that faced accusations of participating in Hamas’s terrorist attack against Israel on Oct. 7.

Ella took down the posts only after a newspaper reached out for comment. She did not return this reporter’s request for an interview at the time.

In November 2023, just months after over 1,200 individuals died in southern Israel at the hands of vicious terrorists, she promoted an $8 million fundraiser for the Gaza Strip, which is governed by Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist group. 

Although the families of politicians are generally protected from media scrutiny, Ella and her mother Kerstin Emhoff have actively participated in soft-ball interviews with friendly outlets, like CNN and The New York Times. They have also lobbed attacks against President Donald Trump, Harris’s 2024 opponent.

Kerstin did not respond to Headline USA’s request for comment to her PRETTYBIRD email address on Saturday evening. Her PR team did not return this outlet’s questions either.

UPDATE: DNC’s Free Abortions, Vasectomies Fully Booked: ‘Here We Come, Chicago!’

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Deciding between terminating your pregnancy or attending the 2024 Democratic National Convention? Planned Parenthood has a solution for you. (UPDATE: Planned Parenthood announced Saturday evening that all abortion and vasectomy appointments have been filled). 

The St. Louis chapter of Planned Parenthood will offer free abortions and vasectomies through a mobile clinic stationed in the West Loop, where the DNC will be held. 

Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, based out of St. Louis, Missouri, announced the initiative via X on Saturday.

The clinic partnered with the Chicago Abortion Fund, a non-profit that finances abortions. “F**k all abortion bans!” the fund boasted in a post.

“Planned Parenthood Great Rivers is bringing our mobile health care unit to the DNC! We are offering vasectomy and medication abortions from the mobile unit in the West Loop,” an appointment page read. Patients will be able to pay what they can.

The Weiners Circle, a hot-dog shop, is also teaming up with Planned Parenthood for this effort—because, why not? “Our p***y our choice,” the shop’s employees shouted in a video.

 

It’s unclear whether the Democratic National Committee or its convention will be sponsoring these free abortions.

Planned Parenthood did not respond to Headline USA’s request for comment via phone, sending this reporter to voice mail instead. Similarly, the DNC did not reply to an email inquiry from Headline USA.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has made abortion a key issue in her campaign and often boasts of being the first vice president to ever visit a Planned Parenthood clinic. 

Echoing leftist talking points, she incorrectly accused President Donald Trump of endorsing an abortion ban. 

In a Aug. 9 X post, she wrote, “Now, he has made clear that he’d use the federal government to rip away access to medication abortion, effectively banning abortion nationwide.” 

The video did not confirm Trump’s stance on stripping away abortion pills. In contrast, Trump has expressed opposition to a federal abortion ban.

Hypocritical NYTimes Now Demands FARA Charges for Hunter Biden

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The New York Times published an opinion piece calling for President Joe Biden’s embattled son, Hunter Biden, to be charged with violations of the Foreign Agent Registration Act, a shocking flip that comes only after Biden dropped out of the 2024 race.

This sudden shift comes years after The Times and other left-leaning outlets vehemently denied and shut down similar concerns raised by Republican lawmakers, including those who launched an impeachment inquiry into Biden.

Casey Michel authored the piece titled “The Brazen Evasions of Hunter Biden,” published on Saturday. Michel is the director of Combating Kleptocracy at the Human Rights Foundation.

Michel’s article centers around allegations by Special Counsel David Weiss. The Hunter prosecutor claimed that a Romanian oligarch hired Hunter in an “attempt to influence U.S. government agencies.” Hunter, of course, never registered as a foreign agent despite longstanding concerns. 

Reflecting on these revelations in addition to Hunter’s imminent tax trial, Michele wrote that “the time has come to finally charge him as an unregistered foreign agent.”

Michel acknowledges that Hunter Biden was “targeted” by “myriad foreign companies and foreign oligarchs” during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. 

“With each revelation, and with each new foreign client revealed, the president’s detractors have wailed that the younger Mr. Biden violated foreign lobbying laws, which required him to disclose what he was doing abroad — as well as reveal the Americans he’d been targeting on behalf of his foreign benefactors,” Michel added. 

He conceded that Biden’s actions may now cross a legal threshold and drew comparisons to Republican Paul Manafort, who pleaded guilty to FARA violations in 2018. 

“Mr. Biden’s alleged foreign lobbying misdeeds appeared to fall short of crossing the line into criminality,” Michele admitted. “They may have put a lie to President Biden’s claimed concerns about foreign influence campaigns, but they were never worthy of formal charges.” 

He stated that the new details give “prosecutors the opening to pursue the president’s son as one of the most prominent foreign lobbyists the United States has ever seen.” 

The Times’s willingness to feature such a damning opinion piece after Biden dropped out of the race drew the ire of prominent conservatives.

Miranda Devine, a journalist and author of the best-selling book Laptop from Hell, expressed outrage over the timing. 

“Sickening. Now that it doesn’t matter to the election, after downplaying the story for four years, NYT runs a piece saying Hunter Biden should be charged with foreign lobbying violations. Pretends the evidence has only just emerged,” she commented on X.

Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight, agreed with Devine. He called for accountability from Weiss, who did not pursue FARA charges against Hunter early on. 

“Then the New York Times should agree David Weiss should be held accountable for NOT charging Hunter Biden,” Leavitt said. “It’s yet another example of how IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler were right all along along.”

In a separate post, Leavitt wrote:

Corey Comperatore’s Widow Speaks Out: ‘He Got His Moment’ at the RNC

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The grief-stricken family of the late fire chief Corey Comperatore spoke candidly about his life of service, the outpouring of support after his death, and President Donald Trump’s tribute to him in Butler, Pennsylvania. 

Helen Comperatore and daughters Allyson and Kaylee opened up to ABC-4 WTAE about the traumatic scene that took place after Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13. 

“He definitely was a hero,” Helen said through tears. She, along with her daughters, accompanied Corey to the rally, where he was fatally struck by a bullet. “He saved his wife. He saved his child—and… he was just the best guy. He was just the best.” 

Helen implored Americans to remember him for his heroic life and not just as the man who died at the Trump rally. “Just try to remember Corey as, you know, he was a great man, was a great father. He was a great husband.”

Corey was hit by a bullet as he pushed his daughter, Allyson, to the ground. “I don’t remember hearing any other shot. I don’t remember feeling any other shot, because in that moment, I was trying to take care of him.” 

Kaylee, Corey’s second daughter, thought she was in a nightmare. “I started screaming but in my head, I was saying, ‘Wake up! Wake up! Like this was a dream. Wake up! Then you realized it’s not a dream.” 

Trump featured Corey’s fire jacket live on stage at the RNC, kissing it as he paid tribute to Corey. The entire stadium was overcome with tears and emotion. 

“That was a big honor,” Helen added. “All day at the rally, my husband kept saying, ‘He’s gonna call me up on the stage. You’re going to hear him. He’s gonna say, “Corey, come up here. Corey get up here. He was just joking but he kept saying that.”’” 

Referring to the RNC tribute, Helen continued, “We were all like that was his moment. He’s up on stage. So, he got his moment on stage.” 

The Comperatore family has received an outpouring of letters and gifts from American families to commemorate Corey. 

A GoFundMe page for all the victims has garnered over $6.5 million from more than 70,000 donations. A separate fundraiser for the Comperatore family alone has raised over $1.3 million from more than 20,000 donations 

“I know he would want me to get to the bottom of it,” Helen said, addressing the security lapses at the rally that allowed the would-be assassin to gain a clear view of the stage from a rooftop. “I want justice for my husband and I’m going to get it.” 

Echoing his mother’s sentiments, Kaylee said, “I just want them to know that I really think my dad’s blood on their hands and I hope they wake up every day thinking about they took from our family because we have to wake up every day and see that image of our father in our head. No child should ever have to see that.”

Trump Takes 2-Point Lead in Crucial Swing State w/ Help from Ballot Chasers

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Donald Trump is leading Kamala Harris by two points in Pennsylvania, with Trump’s 51% going against Harris’s 49% in a head-to-head race.

A new Emerson poll included undecided voters who had to decide between the two.

The poll was released on Aug. 16, 2024, and conducted with 1,000 likely voters between Aug. 13, 2024, and Aug. 14, 2024. It has a margin of error of 3 points.

Emerson’s summary highlighted that “independents are leaning slightly towards Trump, with 48 percent supporting him compared to 45 percent for Harris.” When undecided voters are omitted, Trump leads Harris 49 to 48 points. The two major nominees tie at 47 when other candidates, like RFK Jr., are added to the mix.

The Post Millennial reported that the Emerson poll comes as Harris has seen a bump in the polls since taking over for Biden as the Democratic presumptive nominee.

However, Real Clear Polling indicated that Trump’s lead is significant. It may signal that Harris’s “honeymoon period” after taking the nomination is wearing off, as the last two major polls in Pennsylvania have been in favor of Harris.

“Pennsylvania likely voters in unions break for Harris by 15 points, 57% to 42%, while those not in a union and without union members in the household break for Trump, 50% to 48%,” executive director of Emerson College Polling Spencer Kimball said about the poll.

The economy and inflation were the top issues for most people surveyed in the poll, with 508 out of 1,000 saying they were their primary concerns.

People in Pennsylvania were also polled about who they trust more regarding fracking, one of the state’s top industries. Nearly 50% of the people who were polled said they trusted Trump more on the issue. Only about 43% of polled people said they trust Harris more regarding fracking.

Trump’s possible lead in the swing state was due to volunteers chasing the votes of moderates by persuading them to vote for Trump.

The Daily Caller recently reported that volunteers concentrated on three major groups that could easily be persuaded to vote for Trump: truckers, hunters, and people in the Amish communities.

“Yes, @CNN is annoying — a gross understatement… — but credit where credit is due because of some great analysis here. Watch this video so you can see why@ScottPresler keeps stating that a Pennsylvania victory is CRITICAL,” Scott Presler of Early Vote Action wrote.

WaPo Investigates Taylor Lorenz over Post about Biden Being ‘War Criminal’

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The Washington Post editors have reviewed Taylor Lorenz’s private Instagram stories, one of which appears to call Joe Biden a “war criminal” in a photo. 

The photo, which was shared privately with friends, was a selfie Lorenz took at a digital influencers event at the White House on Aug. 14, 2024.

The New York Post’s Jon Levine shared a screenshot of the photo, which led Lorenz to claim it was edited.

“You people will fall for any dumbass edit someone makes,” she wrote.

The tweet from Levine was Community Noted, with some people on Twitter saying Lorenz denied it and others saying that NPR had verified it. Lorenz also told her editors that the photo was fake.

The Post spoke to NPR about the allegations that Lorenz thinks Biden is a war criminal.

“Our executive editor and senior editors take alleged violations of our standards seriously. We’re aware of the alleged post and are looking into it,” the newspaper stated.

The Post Millennial reported that Lorenz removed the post from her Instagram and then posted the same selfie without the caption.

“So she lied,” Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics said.

Lorenz is not the only leftist in the United States who thinks that Biden is a war criminal because he financially supports Israel in its war against Palestine, which is run by the terrorist group Hamas. On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas massacred over 1,200 Israelis and civilians from other countries, which resulted in a new war.

“If editors decide that content containing potentially offensive material has a legitimate news value, editors should use visual and/or text warnings about such material. For example, we may link to a Web page that contains material that does not meet standards for Post original content, but we let users know what they might see before they click the link by including a warning, such as ‘Warning: Some images on this site contain graphic images of war,'” the Post’s standards for “Taste” read.

‘I Mean It’: Biden Endorses Violence, Tells Dems to ‘Beat the H*ll Out of’ Republicans

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Joe Biden urged supporters on Aug. 15, 2024, to “beat the h*ll out of” Republicans in the 2024 election.

The Daily Wire reported that the violent rhetoric came during Biden’s first public appearance with Kamala Harris since he dropped out of the 2024 race. Harris became the Democratic Party’s nominee to face off against Donald Trump.

“Let me tell you what our Project 2025 is: beat the h*ll out of them,” Biden told the crowd during an event in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

After the far-left audience cheered for violence, Biden doubled down by saying, “I mean it!”

Conservatives on social media quickly criticized Biden and leftists who supported him.

“Disgusting!” the Trump War Room account wrote in a post while also noting that Biden’s remark came just a month after the attempted assassination against Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

“Is this a call to violence?” asked the Libs of TikTok account on Twitter, which is operated by Chaya Raichik and has over 3.3 million followers.

Collin Rugg, who has an X account with 1.4 million followers, also responded to the violent rhetoric.

“If Trump said this, it would be wall-to-wall coverage on MSNBC for the next three weeks,” he wrote, adding that the Washington Post “would be putting the ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ banner up.”

In June, Trump faced Biden in a debate hosted by CNN, and just weeks after the disastrous Biden performance, the leftist establishment removed him as a presidential candidate and replaced him with Harris.

Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton are expected to speak at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago next week. Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., are expected to accept their nominations and deliver remarks.

Biden’s violent rhetoric was just another example of Democrats’ evil nature. It was also recently revealed that Nancy Pelosi issued death threats to pro-Trump Republicans as well.
