Viral Video Unmasks Media’s Years-Long Lies on Biden Laptop

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Federal prosecutors have finally acknowledged the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop, infamously known as the “Laptop from Hell,” much to the detriment of the leftist media, President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. 

In response to years of efforts by legacy media to dismiss the laptop as part of a Russian disinformation campaign, a Twitter page called KanekoaTheGreat released a 20-minute compilation highlighting Joe Biden, intelligence officials and the media refusing to admit the laptop’s authenticity. 

“Shame on all of these people for lying to the American people, rigging our elections, and destroying the integrity of our nation,” KanekoaTheGreat tweeted. 

The compilation includes CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell falsely reporting on the Trump campaign’s accusations of censorship by Big Tech companies regarding the New York Post’s report on the laptop.  

O’Donnell questioned the story’s authenticity, claiming it was designed to sow confusion in the final weeks of the election.

O’Donnell was not alone.  

Politico infamously published a story featuring 51 intelligence officials who dismissed the laptop story as Russian disinformation.  

It was later revealed that the Biden campaign, through now-Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, had orchestrated the letter. 

Taxpayer-funded NPR came under fire for refusing to cover the laptop story, claiming it was not a real story. 

“We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that that are just pure distractions,” claimed NPR Managing Editor Terence Samuels on a statement at the time.

An NPR whistleblower later revealed that the company refused to cover the story because it would have helped the re-election effort of then-President Donald Trump. 

On Wednesday, federal prosecutors used the laptop in the criminal trial of Hunter Biden, who is facing accusations of lying about drug use on a federal form. 

Biden Says He Knew Putin Even When He Was KGB Agent

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Joe Biden claimed on June 6, 2024, that he has “known” Vladimir Putin “for over 40 years,” even though it is not possible because the Russian dictator has been serving as an undercover KGB intelligence officer through the entire 1980s.

“I’ve known him for over 40 years. He’s concerned me for 40 years. He’s not a decent man,” an 81-year-old Biden said.

Biden made his remarks during the interview with ABC News anchor David Muir in France at the Normandy American Cemetery to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the New York Post reported.

However, Biden couldn’t have known Putin for such a long time because one of the biggest enemies of the United States worked as an intelligence officer in the Soviet Union’s spy network from 1975 to 1991, with postings in his hometown of St. Petersburg and the former East Germany before he retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

From 1991 to 1996, Putin served as an aide to St. Petersburg’s then-mayor Anatoly Sobchak and as deputy mayor. After that, he worked as a staff member at the Kremlin and head of the Federal Security Service, which succeeded the KGB after the USSR collapsed in 1991, the news source reported.

“Until he was handpicked in August [1999] by then-President Boris Yeltsin to become prime minister, Putin had never been a public figure,” the Washington Post wrote in January 2000.

However, Biden did meet Putin at least once, when the former was serving as the United States vice president and the latter was Russia’s prime minister. The other time they spoke was at a summit in Geneva, Switzerland, in June 2021.

In his June 6, 2024, interview, Biden talked about the permission for Ukraine to use American weapons to strike inside the Russian-occupied Kharkiv region.

“They’re authorized to be used in proximity to the border when they’re being used on the other side of the border to attack specific targets in Ukraine. We’re not authorizing strikes 200 miles into Russia and we’re not authorizing strikes on Moscow, on the Kremlin,” he said.

The U.S. supply of weapons to Ukraine and authorization of their use was a “direct participation in the war against the Russian Federation,” Putin said on June 5, 2024, adding that the Kremlin would “reserve the right to act in a similar way.” As expected, Putin never mentioned that he started the war in the first place.

Nobel-Winner Paul Krugman Ridiculed for Latest Economic Delusion

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and notorious left-wing propagandist (whose work often casts serious aspersions on the once-prestigious award), penned a recent piece claiming that President Joe Biden’s economy has been so vibrant that he should consider downplaying his success as an electoral strategy.

According to Krugman, the American economy over the past two years has been nothing short of “remarkable, especially given the dire predictions of many observers.”

He argued that most Americans are simply complainers and should accept the great success of the Biden economy.

“There’s overwhelming evidence that most Americans’ negative views about the economy don’t reflect their lived experience,” Krugman claimed, without evidence, suggesting that inflation is at healthy levels and that most people are well-off.

He then cited two likeminded leftist outlets to support his strawman argument that the media at large were clamoring for Biden to quit his boasting—an inherently false premise that was essential to setting up his own doubly ludicrous claim that Biden should keep boasting.

“[T]here’s still a lingering conventional wisdom that says Biden shouldn’t trumpet his economic record … basically saying that Biden shouldn’t talk about his economic achievements, even implying that he should try to relate to voters by acknowledging that the economic picture out there is bad, which it isn’t,” Krugman claimed.

He went on to say that the Biden campaign team should continue to “tell the truth as they see it”—the truth being that “big spending has worked out well for the economy.”

Unsurprisingly, however, Krugman has been gaslighting Americans about inflation for years, going so far as to declare in 2023 that “the war on inflation is over,” and that “we won at very little cost.”

According to a PJ Media report, Krugman has also been spending years telling Americans that things are really great, despite what their bank accounts may look like.

He even suggested last March that people who do not embrace Biden-era economics with open arms “haven’t done their homework.”

As ‘Pride’ Month Critics Prevail, LGBT Activists Take Dark Turn to Doxxing

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) As part of a marketing gimmick for “Pride” month, an LGBT-friendly bakery in West Virginia is doxxing dozens of social-media posters by selling cookies with comments that the company deems critical of the gay agenda, along with the photos of the posters, LGBTQ Nation reported.

Charleston’s Rock City Cake Company previously posted pro-LGBT messages to its social-media platforms in solidarity with the local gay community.

In response, many others condemned the bakery for taking an openly woke stance that they found alienating and antithetical to their own values.

“How sad that you support such nasty wickedness,” said one post. “I won’t be supporting you anymore.”

Rather than take the hint that the political posturing was putting off potential customers, though, the bakery opted to double down with its “Sick Freak Cookie Box.”

It printed out the social-media critics’ messages on edible paper, then placed each message atop a bed of buttercream-flavored rainbow icing with a rim of rainbow sprinkles.

The boxes, selling for $30 each, will begin shipping out on June 9, with proceeds benefiting local LGBT-allied nonprofits, said the bakery’s website.

Despite plastering their web pages with platitudes like “Love is Love,” however, the approach taken by the business may have struck some as decidedly vindictive and spiteful. The cookies feature slightly blurred but still identifiable images in an apparent attempt to shame their detractors.

Some supporters gleefully noted as much in a Facebook post announcing the publicity stunt.

“Keeping the picture beside the comment is iconic lol,” said Christy Carpenter, a former financial service representative at City National Bank.

“Keeping the profile pictures is 🤜[right-facing fist],” wrote Ashley Bennett, a lesbian mother of one.

“They have no issue making themselves public with their hate,” Bennett added. “No need to hide now! lol”

“So glad you left their profile pictures up!! 🌈❤️,” said Debbie Edens McClanahan, a retired alumna of West Virginia State University.

Rock City Cake’s owners were slightly more careful to avoid any explicit acknowledgement that the strongarm tactic was designed to suppress dissent—not through dialogue and understanding but through intimidation.

“We as a company, along with many others have received hateful messages/comments, and well … in rock city fashion, we decided to showcase them on a cookie for a good cause,” they claimed.

“If nothing else … [the cookies will] encourage young or closeted LGBTQ+ members that the hate they see spewed online is nothing more than a word on a cookie, and we as a community won’t stand for it here.”

However, their own messaging was rife with us vs. them rhetoric, including a page that invited those outside of the Charleston area to make a donation in support of their efforts.

“I don’t live close, but I hate homophobic people and want to make a donation to a local nonprofit!” it said. The company did not identify what nonprofits it would be donating proceeds to, saying it wished to keep them anonymous.

Although “Pride” month has been quietly celebrated among the gay community for the past three decades, it has taken off in recent years, with displays of sexual perversion and hedonism becoming more prevalent in communities where they have often been met with a frosty reception.

Even large corporations have hopped on board the virtue-signaling bandwagon via LGBT-oriented merchandise and branding that some have found to be highly objectionable, resulting in widespread backlash and boycotts.

With the “Pride” pushback now becoming as much a part of the narrative as the underlying activism, some on the Left have started to rediscover the Marxist principles that underpin their movement—one that wealthy corporations may want to think twice about hitching their brand to.

The Communist Party USA recently heralded the arrival of June by calling on the gay and transgender communities to join its militant struggle against capitalism.

“As fascism threatens the lives of LGBTQ+ people at home, and appeals to their struggles are used to justify imperialism abroad, we must return to the radical roots of Pride,” it said.

Dems’ Split Ticket in N.J. Senate Race Could Present GOP Pathway to Victory

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Rep. Andy Kim emerged victorious in New Jersey’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, winning nearly 75% of the statewide Democratic vote, NBC News reported.

Kim will now face Republican challenger Curtis Bashaw in a state that has not elected a Republican senator in 52 years.

However, with newly independent incumbent Sen. Bob Menendez continuing to lurk in the shadows and indications of a resurgent red wave riding the coattails of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, the Democratic machine that has run the state for generations may not be enough to carry Kim to victory in the November general election, Politico reported.

Menendez, who formally announced his exit from the Democratic Party this week, is currently facing a federal trial on corruption charges.

The latest scandal for the ethically challenged former chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee involves allegations that he accepted bribes in gold and cash in exchange for favorable policies toward Egypt and Qatar.

Kim told Politico it would be shocking for Menendez to reenter the race as an independent after the conclusion of the July trial, for which the senator continues to maintain his innocence.

“He’s been in politics long enough to know he’s not going to win this race,” Kim said. “I’m guessing that a lot of this is just really about his own self preservation right now in court.”

Nonetheless, the prospect of a three-way race, with Menendez splitting the Democratic ticket, would also open the door for a potential Republican victory.

Thus far, the only available poll on a Bashaw–Kim matchup appears to be an April 15 analysis from Farleigh Dickinson University that showed Kim with a 9 point advantage. That lead, however, “is cut almost in half” when Menendez is added into the mix.

“Despite all of his legal problems, Menendez still has a base, and if he’s on the ballot, that base is going to come out for him,” said FDU Prof. Dan Cassino, the director of the poll. “He’s not going to win, but he might be able to make things uncomfortable for Democrats.”

Moreover, the record-breaking attendance at a recent Trump rallyon the Jersey shore—which drew an estimated crowd of 80,000 to 100,000—suggests that the Republican base in the state could be energized with or without a spoiler candidate in the race.

“As you can see today, we’re expanding the electoral map,” Trump told the crowd. “We’re going to win the state of New Jersey.”

The shifting tide in the Garden State was evident even in 2021, when GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciatterelli came tantalizingly close to upending incumbent Gov. Phil Murphy amid backlash over the state’s draconian COVID policies.

Ciatterelli recently announced his plans to run again in next year’s race for governor. Headline USA reached out to him for comment and will update with any response.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Blows Kisses at Violent, Anti-Trump Protesters in Va

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., faced hostility from a far-left mob during a Virginia rally for congressional candidate John McGuire, who is challenging Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., for the 5th Congressional District seat. 

At the rally, Greene echoed President Donald Trump’s endorsement of McGuire, praising his record as a state senator and delegate.  

However, as Greene exited the rally, she was quickly accosted by an angry mob, despite being escorted by a police officer from Alleghany County. 

“Go home!” shouted a woman holding a “Vote Blue” sign with a blue heart. Another woman added, “F**k you!” while bystanders held anti-Trump signs, including one reading, “Make Authoritarianism Go Away.”

Greene, undeterred, used a megaphone to counter with chants of “Trump! Trump! Trump!” Her supporters joined in, and Greene smiled and laughed at the hecklers.

The video, shared by Greene herself, ends with her blowing a kiss as a protester shouted, “F**king b**ch!”

In a tweet accompanying the video, Greene wrote that the left represents “violence and the party of hate.” 

She added, “They showed up today supporting their America Last, dementia ridden President who has ripped our borders open, made groceries and gas unaffordable, and will lead us into WWIII.” 

Greene was in Virginia to campaign for McGuire ahead of the state’s early voting, which begins on June 18.  

Her support comes at a crucial time, with McGuire recently releasing internal polling data showing him with a 14-point lead over Good.  

Trump criticized Good as being “BAD FOR VIRGINIA AND BAD FOR THE USA” after Good endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ now-failed presidential campaign. 

MURDOCK: Badfellas Biden and De Niro May Look Like Clowns, But Nobody’s Laughing

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Donald Trump turn America into a place that is filled with anger, resentment, and hate,” President Joe Biden said May 29 in Philadelphia.

So, why did America’s Uniter-in-Chief “stop the shouting, and lower the temperature,” (as he promised in his inaugural address) by recruiting Robert De Niro, one of Hollywood’s loudest hotheads?

“Trump wants revenge, and he’ll stop at nothing to get it,” the veteran actor said as narrator of a Biden-campaign ad released May 24.

De Niro’s overheated audio track continues: “Now he’s running again, this time threatening to be a dictator. To terminate the Constitution.”

Biden could have tapped the suave and even-keeled George Clooney or the widely admired Julia Roberts, both talented supporters. Instead, Biden picked the boisterous, unhinged De Niro, whose comments about Donald J. Trump slide from the vulgar to the violent.

On May 28, the Biden campaign staged a press conference outside the Manhattan Criminal Courts Building. De Niro and Biden–Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler stood before microphones and taunted Trump on one of the toughest days of his life.

“I don’t mean to scare you,” De Niro said.

“No, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you,” he contined. “If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted.”

This disastrously misconceived stunt then melted down as local Trump fans defended the presumptive GOP nominee and swapped insults with the two-time Academy Award winner.

“You’re trash! You’re done!” one man yelled at De Niro. Another screamed: “You ruined Leo DiCaprio!”

“You are gangsters,” De Niro hollered back. “You are gangsters!”

This was not the first time that Biden’s new spokesman devolved into what the president decries as “anger, resentment, and hate.”

But De Niro and Biden are not so far apart.

The warm, lovable Grandpa Lunchbucket from Scranton that Democrats showcased in 2020 was a mirage. Americans have learned the hard way that Biden is a nasty, vindictive man who lusts to imprison the leader of the opposition.

  • Asked last week at the White House about Trump’s charge that Biden had made him a political prisoner, Biden displayed an Arctic smile that seemed chilled by ice water in his arteries.

  • When the remains of 13 Americans murdered in a suicide bombing returned home from Afghanistan, Biden repeatedly and coldly checked his watch rather than focus exclusively on those fallen GIs’ flag-draped caskets.
  • Biden blames ongoing inflation not on his own reckless spendaholism but on “corporate greed.” So, U.S. companies mercifully kept inflation at 1.4% as Trump left office. But then they suddenly became gluttons and boosted overall prices by 19.87% over Biden’s first 39 months versus 5.58% for Trump’s equivalent interval?

Really?

  • Unlike De Niro, Biden keeps his mouth clean in public. But off camera, he is a bully who pummels staffers with foul language. Axios reported that the president explodes at White House aides. “God dammit, how the f**k don’t you know this?!,” Biden demands. To others he screams, “Get the f**k out of here!”
  • Despite multiple death threats, two home-trespassing incidents, and an armed imposter’s arrest at a campaign event, Biden has rejected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s five requests for Secret Service protection. Never mind that his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in 1963, nor that his father fatally was gunned down in 1968. Nice guys don’t expose their competitors to murder in cold blood.

Biden, 81, and DeNiro, 80, deserve each other. They are a pair of mean, cranky, decaying leftists who gush anger, resentment, and hate at their political opponents.

In a word: Badfellas.

How Much Gold Is There In the World?

(Mike Maharrey, Money Metals News Service) How much gold is there in the world? The quick answer is not much – at least not relatively speaking.

According to the World Gold Council, as of the end of 2023, around 212,582 tons of gold have been mined throughout history. About two-thirds of that amount was dug out of the ground since 1950.

That sounds like a lot of gold, but if you melted down every ounce of gold ever mined and formed it into one block, it would only measure 73 feet on each side.

Or to look at it another way, you could take all of the gold in the world and fit it into four and a half Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Here is a cube that size next to a semi.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) comes in with a slightly lower estimate of 187,000 tons.

Each year, mining adds approximately 2,500-3,000 tons of gold to the above-ground stock.

Knowing how much gold remains in the ground is a difficult task. The USGS estimates that known mineable reserves total about 57,000 tons.

There is likely much more gold buried beneath the earth’s surface but a lot of it would be difficult to reach given the current technology. Some estimates put the total of inaccessible gold deep beneath the earth’s surface at around 400,000 tons.

There are as many as 1.6 quadrillion (16,000,000,000,000,000) tons of gold in the earth’s molten metallic core. 

Scientists estimate there are about 20 million tons of gold suspended in the ocean. That’s a lot of gold, but it is spread out through a lot of water. According to NOAA, that’s only about one gram of gold for every 100 million metric tons of ocean water in the Atlantic and North Pacific. That comes to 13.3 million tons. There is no economically viable way to extract it. 

The bottom line is gold is scarce and that’s part of what gives it its value.

Trump Ally Steve Bannon Ordered to Prison

(Headline USA) Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, must report to prison by July 1 to serve his four-month sentence for defying a subpoena from the  Democrat-controlled Jan. 6th Commission, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols in Washington granted the Justice Department’s request to make Bannon begin his prison term after a three-judge panel of a federal appeals court last month upheld his contempt of Congress conviction.

Bannon is expected to seek a stay of the judge’s order, which could delay his surrender date. He told reporters outside the courthouse: “I’ve got great lawyers, and we’re going to go all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to.”

Nichols, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, a Republican, had initially allowed Bannon to remain free while he fought his conviction.

But prosecutors urged the judge to revoke his bond after a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said all of Bannon’s challenges lack merit. Prosecutor John Crabb told the judge it was “very unlikely” that the full appeals court or the Supreme Court would throw out Bannon’s conviction.

Bannon was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents related to his involvement in Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 presidential election.

Bannon had initially argued that his testimony was protected by Trump’s claim of executive privilege. But the House panel and the Justice Department contended such a claim was dubious because Trump had fired Bannon from the White House in 2017 and Bannon was thus a private citizen when he was consulting with the then-president in the run-up to the riot,

Bannon’s lawyers argued at trial that he wasn’t acting in bad faith, but was trying to avoid running afoul of executive privilege objections Trump had raised. The onetime presidential adviser said he wanted to have a Trump lawyer in the room for his appearance, but the committee wouldn’t allow it.

Bannon’s lawyers told the appeals court that the conviction should be overturned because, among other reasons, they said the committee’s subpoena was invalid. Bannon also argued that the judge that oversaw the trial wrongly quashed subpoenas seeking testimony and records from the committee’s own members, staffers and counsel his lawyers argued could have bolstered his defense.

The appeals court said all of his challenges lacked merit.

A second Trump aide, trade advisor Peter Navarro, was also convicted of contempt of Congress and reported to prison in March to serve his four-month sentence. Navarro has maintained that he couldn’t cooperate with the committee because Trump had invoked executive privilege. But courts have rejected that argument, finding Navarro couldn’t prove Trump had actually invoked it.

Navarro’s case, along with Bannon’s, marked the first time in roughly four decades that any such cases had been prosecuted by the DOJ, despite recent examples including Lois Lerner, Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton, all of whom brazenly disregarded congressional subpoenas during the Obama administration.

Biden Appears to S**t Himself During Solemn D-Day Ceremony in Normandy

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA)  President Joe Biden appeared confused and disoriented during a Thursday ceremony in France commemorating the 80th anniversary of D-Day, nearly collapsing at one point. 

Viral video footage captured Biden alongside first lady Jill Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte. As Biden shook Macron’s hand, he suddenly bent over, seemingly inspecting something on the ground.

D-Day screenshot
A screenshot from June 6, 2024 shows X users reacting to video of President Joe Biden hunched over during a D-Day ceremony in Normandy

On social media, however, the consensus was clear as to what Biden appeared, at least, to be doing.

Speculation that the 81-year-old Democrat leader had defecated himself would not be an isolated incident. He reportedly had to cut short a 2021 audience with Pope Francis I due to a bathroom emergency. Not long afterward, while attending the COP26 conference in Glasgow, the president reportedly broke wind in the company of Camilla Parker–Bowles, who was duchess of Cornwall at the time.

“It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,” a source told the Daily Mail of the incident, which occurred while Biden was making small talk with the future British queen. “Camilla hasn’t stopped talking about it.”

Biden also has gone viral multiple times for videos that appeared to show him in a compromising squat, including one last month as he was en route from the White House to board Air Force One, which prompted first lady Jill Biden to hang her head in shame and walk away without him.

On Thursday, however, there was little onlookers could do but stand by, aghast, until the awkward moment passed.

For roughly 12 seconds, Biden remained bent over while his hands shook, appearing lost. “Distinguished guests, please welcome the honorable Lloyd Austin,” announced an orator, likely referring to the secretary of Defense. 

During this time, Biden stayed bent over as the first lady placed her hand over her mouth seemingly in concern.

Notably, before the event, Jill Biden had assisted the president in walking toward a stage as Macron greeted World War II veterans.

Biden’s perplexing behavior at the ceremony comes as voter concerns about his age continue to rise. 

Biden is facing a vigorous campaign from former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Several polls show Trump leading in the run-up to the 2024 election. 

On Wednesday, the Trump campaign released an ad highlighting Biden’s verbal gaffes and perceived cognitive decline. 

The ad opens with a clip of Biden saying, “I’m not a young guy, that’s no secret.” It then transitions to a montage of Biden stumbling, falling, appearing confused, poking his nose, and looking disoriented. 

The ad concludes with the iconic “Trump Make America Great Again! 2024” logo. 

As recently as April, Biden has falsely smeared Trump by referring to a debunked Atlantic story that claimed the GOP leader had referred to war vets as “suckers and losers” after Trump was forced to reroute a helicopter due to inclement weather, missing a scheduled visit to France’s Aisne-Marne American Cemetery to pay respects to the 2,000 U.S. troops buried there.

Biden claimed to have taken personal umbrage on account of his son Beau’s National Guard service, which included seven months on active duty as a military lawyer in Iraq. His other son, Hunter, served in the U.S. Navy but was given an “administrative discharge” due to cocaine use.

“I have to say, there a lot of things Donald Trump has said and done that I find extremely offensive,” Biden ranted during a campaign stop in his native Scranton, Pennsylvania. “But one that offends me the most is when he refused as president to visit an American cemetery outside of Paris when he was president.” 

Arguably, though, when it comes to dishonoring military veterans, Trump’s inclement weather scandal now pales in comparison with Biden’s latest s**tstorm.
