MURDOCK: Biden Constructs a Potemkin Hellscape to Conceal His Own Dystopia

(Deroy Murdock, Headline USA) In three words, here is Joe Biden’s re-election strategy:

Lie, lie, lie.

Biden and his Democrat allies are not conducting a normal re-election campaign based on a brighter tomorrow.

Concerning their job performance today, their approach is: The less said, the better.

Instead, Biden Democrats present a nonstop parade of lies about Donald J. Trump. These include outright fabrications about his record and pitch-black premonitions of a “Trump dictatorship” totally unlike his first term.

On Tuesday in Reno, Biden parroted the old lie that Trump refused to visit France’s Aisne-Marne American Cemetery​ because its fallen World War I soldiers were “losers and suckers.”

Rubbish!

Jeffrey Goldberg recklessly and maliciously concocted this “story” for The Atlantic just before Labor Day 2020. His proof: Four anonymous “sources.”

​In contrast, I subsequently wrote ​five articles ​that dismantl​ed this ​vulgar smear. I ​named and quoted 16 members of Trump​’s Parisian entourage. They verified that Trump’s security personnel sc​otched the​ Nov. 10, 2018 visit due to ​rain, ​low clouds too ​dangerous for helicopters, and logistical headaches that precluded motorcade​ travel. ​

A military aide’s contemporaneous e-mail​ and a local weather report​ exculpated Trump. ​His delayed departure ​the next day, to visit Suresnes American Cemetery ​near Paris​, ​also obliterated Goldberg’s “losers and suckers” lie.

Sources: Trump 16, Goldberg 4.

Regardless, Biden waved Goldberg’s discredited myth around like a dusty skeleton. He likely will do so again, because Joe Biden lies like most people breathe.

“My son is one of those losers and suckers,” Biden mumbled. Actually, Beau Biden served in Iraq, not The Great War. He is buried in Greenville, Delaware, not ​Château-Thierry​, France.

The Biden campaign on Monday released a disgusting ad featuring shopworn video of neo-Nazis marching on Aug. 11, 2017, the night before Charlottesville, Virginia’s deadly race riots.

Team Biden included Trump’s comment about “very fine people, on both sides” of that mayhem. They also pretended not to know what Trump soon added at the same news conference: “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists—because they should be condemned totally.”

The Aug. 15, 2017 White House transcript confirms Trump’s rebuke. Regardless, Biden’s ad conveniently whitewashes Trump’s anti-racism.

The Washington Post’s Lisa Rein lied that Trump denounced the violence “without singling out the white nationalists and neo-Nazis.” Trump did exactly that.

Biden, Democrats, and their media bodyguards now claim that Trump promised “a bloodbath” if Biden wins re-election.

At a March 16 rally in Dayton, Ohio, Trump decried potential imports of Chinese-designed, Mexican-built electric vehicles, on which he threatened 100% tariffs. Trump predicted that a re-elected Biden would welcome these autos and trigger “a bloodbath” among U.S. car makers. “But they’re not going to sell those cars,” if Trump wins, he added.

The ensuing foam on Democrat mouths resembled shaving cream.

“It’s clear this guy wants another January 6,” Biden deceived via Twitter.

“What does that mean?” Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the former House speaker, prevaricated on CNN. “He’s going to exact a bloodbath?”

Atop endless lies, Democrats also wallow in hypocrisy. As a Grabien video montage hilariously indicates, Trump haters use “bloodbath” more often than he does.

• “It’ll be a bloodbath,” MSNBC’s Ali Vitali said about Nikki Haley’s campaign. “Not only is it going to be a bloodbath, but after they leave New Hampshire, it’s a bloodbath on her home turf.”

“And Trump has left a lot of corpses in his wake,” Dasha Burns replied. “I mean, we haven’t counted the bodies.”

• CNN’s Van Jones said of the GOP’s 2020 prospects: “It’s going to be a bloodbath.”

• MSNBC’s Joy Reid foresaw “a bloodbath at the ballot box.”

Grabien captured “bloodbath” 48 times, mainly by Trump’s foes. Trump says “bloodbath,” and these very same people scream, “Mein Kampf 2.0!”

Rather than offer Americans a positive vision, Biden and the Democrats plan this through Nov. 5: Terrify voters, recycle anti-Trump lies, invent new ones, and yell, “Abortion!”

Rinse, repeat.

Whatever happened to Hope and Change?

House Republicans Sue DOJ Officials for Defying Impeachment Subpoenas

House Republicans Sue DOJ Officials for Defying Impeachment Subpoenas

(Headline USA) The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit Thursday against two Justice Department officials who reportedly refused to comply with subpoenas for testimony in Republicans’ impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.

The suit asked the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., to issue a preliminary injunction compelling Mark Daly and Jack Morgan, both lawyers for the DOJ’s tax division, to sit for depositions with the committee, according to the New York Post.

“The Committee’s need for Daly’s and Morgan’s testimony was urgent,” the motion for the emergency order said. “Every day that they defy the Committee’s Subpoenas delays and hinders its investigation at a time when the Committee is seeking to conclude its fact gathering.”

Daly and Morgan were assigned to the Justice Department’s probe into Hunter Biden’s finances, which, thus far, has resulted in 12 charges against Hunter Biden.

According to IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, Daly and Morgan were involved in a June 2022 meeting with now-special counsel David Weiss, during which the DOJ’s tax division recommended against prosecuting Hunter Biden for tax crimes.

Shapley testified that Morgan even pressed Weiss to “remove Hunter Biden’s name from electronic search warrants.”

The House Judiciary Committee accused the Justice Department of deliberately stonewalling lawmakers’ efforts to interview the two tax division officials.

“At first, DOJ refused to make Daly and Morgan available for voluntary interviews with the Committee, forcing the Committee to subpoena them for depositions, twice,” the court filing said. “But they defied the subpoenas because they elected to comply with DOJ’s baseless and unlawful direction not to appear.” 

The DOJ then claimed that the committees were “invalid,” according to the committee’s lawsuit. “Among other things, DOJ argues that the inability of agency counsel to attend supposedly interferes with the President’s ability to control the disclosure of potentially privileged information.” 

But as the committee noted, the very nature of the impeachment inquiry is to determine whether President Joe Biden inappropriately interfered with the DOJ’s investigation of his son.

Chelsea Clinton Reveals Her ‘Unimpeachable’ Bond w/ Barron Trump

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Chelsea Clinton swiftly came to the defense of Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, amid suggestions from a left-wing influencer that the younger Trump was “fair game” for political attacks. 

During a Friday interview on ABC News’s The View, Clinton asserted that Barron Trump has an “unimpeachable right to privacy,” despite assumptions made by the left-wing commentators. 

“I think he’s a private citizen,” Clinton exclaimed in response to a question from The View co-host Ana Navarro about threats and attacks against Barron Trump. 

“I feel so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy; and I think the media should leave him alone,” she added.

Clinton’s remarks were prompted by Navarro’s questions about the controversy surrounding former NBC executive Mike Sington, who suggested in a now-deleted tweet that Barron Trump was “fair game” upon turning 18. 

In subsequent remarks to Newsweek, Sington clarified that his use of the phrase “fair game” referred to Barron being subject to media scrutiny. 

“I posted he was ‘fair game’ now, meaning, as an adult, he’s ‘fair game’ for criticism from the press,” he told the media outlet.

Earlier interpretations of the tweets suggested that Sington meant physical assault. However, Sington clarified that this was not the case. 

“Someone pointed out to me ‘fair game’ could mean fair game to be harmed,” he retorted. “I don’t wish physical harm on anyone, so I took it down. I listen to the comments and criticism I receive.” 

Sington’s comments sparked backlash from conservatives on Twitter, leading him to delete the post.

Claiming to have worked for nearly 30 years as a producer for Studio Tour, a behind-the-scenes tour of Universal Parks and Resorts, Sington boasts over 133,000 followers on Twitter and consistently shares widely shared posts against Trump.

The New Rachel Maddow? Ronna Leaps from RNC to Far-Left NBC

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Meet the latest addition to left-wing outlets NBC News and MSNBC: Ronna Romney McDaniel.

McDaniel, the former chair of the Republican National Committee, is poised to join the networks as an on-air contributor just weeks after handing her position at the RNC to Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, and Michael Whatley, former chair of the North Carolina Republican Party. 

“It couldn’t be a more important moment to have a voice like Ronna’s on the team,” said Carrie Budoff Brown, a senior vice president overseeing politics at NBC News. 

According to the New York Times, Brown added in a memo that McDaniel’s coverage will provide “an insider’s perspective on national politics and the future of the Republican Party.”

McDaniel will make her debut on Sunday, March 23, with an appearance on Meet the Press, hosted by Kristen Welker.

The NBC gig follows her March 8 resignation as RNC chair after months of criticism aimed at McDaniel for what critics perceive as a string of Republican losses.

McDaniel assumed the role of RNC chair in 2016 at the request of Trump, then-president-elect. However, since her tenure, Republicans have experienced defeat in every national election, except for a narrow Republican majority in 2022. 

In 2018, Republicans lost their majority in the House of Representatives, with Democrats flipping at least 40 seats. 

Two years later, Republicans lost the White House to the incumbent, President Joe Biden, and concurrently lost their Senate majority after the Georgia runoff elections a few months later in 2021. 

In 2022, despite countless setbacks for Biden, Democrats retained their Senate majority. In 2023, Republicans similarly faced setbacks in crucial state races, including Virginia and Pennsylvania. 

While the Republican Party’s failures may be attributed to various factors, many critics have singled out McDaniel for blame. 

Trump, now the presumptive nominee for president, echoed the concerns of critics regarding McDaniel and hinted at her imminent departure in early February.

Ultimately, McDaniel announced her resignation as RNC chair following Super Tuesday, during which Trump emerged victorious in the Republican primary. 

Leftists Descend on Kyle Rittenhouse at Memphis TPUSA Event

Leftists Descend on Kyle Rittenhouse at Memphis TPUSA Event

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Leftists at the University of Memphis (UM) descended on Kyle Rittenhouse, the 21-year-old Second Amendment advocate, who spoke on March 20, 2024, at an event that was hosted by the UM student chapter of Turning Point USA.

Rittenhouse was planning to “share his side of the story that caught the media’s eye in 2020,” an event listing indicated.

Blaze Media reported that hundreds of protestors gathered outside, screaming at guests, hindering the flow of traffic in and out of the UC Theatre and shoving different signs in everybody’s faces, among which were “No killers on my campus,” “You’re in denial, Kyle,” “Murderers don’t belong here,” and “No one should be open to Racism, Christo-Fascism, Murderous Little S***s.”

A UM spokesman indicated in a statement ahead of the event that the university was legally required to permit Rittenhouse to speak, which didn’t stop the leftist fascist from trying to get to the speaker.

Ahead of the student event at the UM, school administrators leaked “ticketing information to protester groups so they can reserve large numbers of newly issued tickets and sabotage the events,” TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said.

“We know this because some of our students are in the protester group chats,” he said.

Footage circulating online revealed that protesters were indeed present inside the theater. The extent of their disruptions is not clear.

It was also reported by the news source that the TPUSA student chapter president was doxxed before the event, with his full name, phone number and even his exact address being posted online

“Let him know how you feel about this decision to provoke black students by inviting a racist murderer on campus,” the comment next to the private information said.

Lauren Shelley, the director of conferences and event services at the UM, just laughed off the student’s concern, saying that the student “probably shouldn’t stay there tonight.”

After the event was over, the far-left mob swarmed attendees who tried to leave the venue and bar Rittenhouse’s exit, the decision that forced police to escort TPUSA members through the swarm of radicals.

Rittenhouse was able to safely arrive at his destination.

“Great event. Interesting people, to say the least,” he said.

TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk also responded to what happened in the lengthy post.

“This is what happens when school administrators pander to petulant children. You get chaos. Our brave students will press forward but this is unacceptable, especially in Tennessee,” he wrote.

200K Deportation Cases Tossed as DHS Conveniently Forgets to File Paperwork

200K Deportation Cases Tossed as DHS Conveniently Forgets to File Paperwork

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) The Biden administration botched the deportation proceedings of approximately 200,000 illegal aliens after it inexplicably failed to file the proper paperwork, a new bombshell report revealed. 

According to the non-partisan group Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, this mass dismissal of deportation proceedings occurred because the DHS neglected to file notices to appear with the court.

The report highlighted that this oversight blocked the immigration courts of proper jurisdiction, consequently stalling the progress of these cases. Even worse is the fact that the Biden administration is unable to properly excuse the errors.

“These large numbers of dismissals and what then happens raise serious concerns,” stated TRAC Immigration, sounding the alarm about the errors.

The staggering figure of 200,000 cases encompasses those initiated from the beginning of the Biden administration through February 2024, including the cases of individuals seeking asylum status.

Notably, the report scolded the federal government’s failure to provide explanations for these mishaps. 

“Troubling is the almost total lack of transparency on where and why these DHS failures occurred,” TRAC Immigration further added.  

“Equally troubling is the lack of solid information on what happened to these many immigrants when DHS never rectified its failure by reissuing and filing new NTAs to restart their Court cases,” it continued. 

The proper deportation process starts with DHS issuing a “Notice to Appear” (NTA) to illegal aliens, which is then submitted to an immigration court. 

The NTA contains crucial information, including the rationale for deportation removals. Without an NTA, immigration judges cannot proceed with the case. 

The absence of an NTA means that illegal aliens, including those seeking asylum, may later discover that their cases have been dismissed. 

“These dismissals therefore potentially extend the time and difficulties that individuals, and their families, face in securing food, shelter and other essentials while waiting for a work permit,” the report elaborated. “Indeed, the lack of clarity about their case may only add to their sense of legal limbo rather than alleviate it.” 

House Dem. Forced to Apologize after Using Racial Slur During Hearing

House Dem. Forced to Apologize after Using Racial Slur During Hearing

(Headline USA) A House Democrat was forced to apologize this week after using an inappropriate racial slur for black people during a hearing on tax policy.

Rep. David Trone, D-Md., who is the current Democrat frontrunner in what will likely be a tight race for the U.S. Senate this November, dropped the disparaging term for black people in an attempted dig at Republicans.

“So this Republican j****oo that—it’s the tax rate that’s stopping business investment, it’s just completely faulty by people who have never run a business,” he said during the hearing. “They’ve never been there. They don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.”

At the moment, he appeared to be addressing his remarks to Shalanda Young, a director of the Office of Management and Budget, who is black.

After facing backlash for the inappropriate remark, Trone claimed he meant to use the word “bugaboo” instead, meaning an imaginary object of fear or alarm.

“Today while attempting to use the word ‘bugaboo’ in a hearing, I used a phrase that is offensive,” he said in a statement, according to the Daily Mail.

“That word has a long dark terrible history,” he continued. “It should never be used any time, anywhere, in any conversation.”

Sounding almost like a hostage under coercion, Trone then shifted into the requisite Democrat disclaimers that have become a standard part of the form apology for all such racist accidents.

I recognize that as a white man, I have privilege,” he said.

“And as an elected official, I have a responsibility for the words I use—especially in the heat of the moment,” he added. “Regardless of what I meant to say, I shouldn’t have used that language.”

Trone also faced heat earlier this month for comments he made about illegal immigration.

“We need to welcome all 12 million folks here now that are DACA, TPS, and undocumented—make them citizens, and move forward,” he said, advocating for a controversially radical amnesty plan.

“They have all the rights everybody here should have also,” he reportedly said during a candidate forum.

The Maryland Democrat, who made his fortune as the co-founder and co-owner of Total Wine & More, also attracted attention from law enforcement last year afte rhe allegedly threatened to “f***ing end” and “execute” his colleague Hunter Olsen. 

Trone faces a crowded Democrat primary field but has said he is willing to spend millions of dollars from his own fortune to secure the party’s nomination. If he succeeds, he will likely face former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in the general election.

Biden ‘Forgives’ $6B MORE in Student Loans for 78K People

Biden ‘Forgives’ $6B MORE in Student Loans for 78K People

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) Despite last year’s Supreme Court ruling, the Biden administration decided to announce additional rounds of federal student loan debt “forgiveness.”

The White House issued a press release on March 21, 2024, in which it declared that it would forgive $6 billion for 78,000 people.

“Today, my Administration is canceling student loans for an additional 78,000 public service workers — teachers, nurses, firefighters, and more — through Public Service Loan Forgiveness,” Biden said.

He then tried to justify the decision by exploiting the “dedication” of public service workers.

“These public service workers have dedicated their careers to serving their communities, but because of past administrative failures, never got the relief they were entitled to under the law,” he added.

President George W. Bush signed the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program into law back in 2007 to encourage Americans to seek employment in the public service sector.

As it was previously pointed out, the Biden administration has wiped out federal student loan debt for 870,000 public service workers. This number looks even bigger in comparison to all of the previous administrations combined providing relief only to 7,000 workers, Blaze Media reported.

Biden previously said that he “canceled” debt for four million Americans since stepping into the Oval Office. The administration attempted to unilaterally eliminate $10,000 of federal student loan debt last year for individuals making less than $125,000 per year and married couples making less than $250,000 per year, according to the news source.

Back in June 2023, the Supreme Court blocked Biden’s plan, preventing him from canceling approximately $430 billion of debt for borrowers.

The ruling didn’t stop the administration that continued providing debt forgiveness through smaller, similar programs that pass the burden to all American taxpayers, as always. As of March 22, 2024, Biden zeroed out $143.6 billion in debt for student loan borrowers.

“In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision on my Administration’s original student debt relief plan, we are continuing to pursue an alternative path to deliver student debt relief to as many borrowers as possible as quickly as possible,” he said.

Neuralink Implant Patient Moves Chess Pieces w/ His Mind

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Nolan Arbaugh, a 29-year-old quadriplegic, has successfully used a Neuralink brain implant to play chess and other video games on the computer, PC Mag reported.

Arbaugh, who lost the ability to use his limbs after a “freak diving accident” about eight years ago, agreed to have the brain chip implanted back in January. He has been able to use it to control a mouse on his keyboard.

“So I’m paralyzed from below the shoulders,” he explained. “I have no sensation or movement below my injury.”

Neuralink posted a video to Twitter showing Arbaugh talking about the success of the product.

According to the report, the brain-chip surgery went off without any hitches for Arbaugh, though it did require a day in the hospital.

While things on the whole have gone well, “we have run into some issues,” he said.

“I don’t want people to think this is the end of the journey,” he added, nothing that “there’s still a lot of work to be done, but it has already changed my life.”

As far as his actual abilities with manipulating computers, he can simply move the cursor on the screen by “imagining the cursor moving,” comparing it to “the Force” from Star Wars.

In light of the news, Elon Musk suggested that it may not be unreasonable to someday expect the technology to allow quadriplegics and others who have been paralyzed to regain their ability to use their limbs properly.

Musk’s company initially announced the procedure in January 2024, noting at the time that the subject should be able to “operate a computer or smartphone by simply intending to move” with “no wires or physical movement are required.”

According to Arbaugh, the Neuralink technology has succeeded in that aim, allowing him to relax in a way that was previously impossible for him.

“Now I can just literally lie in my bed, and play to my heart’s content,” he concluded

Ex-Obama Fundraiser: Letitia James’s Trump Vendetta a ‘Slippery Slope’

Ex-Obama Fundraiser: Letitia James’s Trump Vendetta a ‘Slippery Slope’

(Headline USA) A former fundraiser for President Barack Obama admitted this week that New York Attorney General Letitia James’s case against former President Donald Trump was “so wrong.”

Trump was ordered last month to pay a massive $400 million fine by New York Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over James’s civil lawsuit against the former president and his business empire. Trump now has to remit a $464 million bond if he wants to appeal Engoron’s decision.

Don Peebles, a millionaire who helped fundraise for Obama’s first campaign, said the case could have a serious chilling effect on business in New York and that James never should have pursued it.

“I have expressed concern that I think that this is a very slippery slope to selectively enforce an archaic law that has got no victim,” he told Fox News host Neil Cavuto.

Peebles added that the hefty remittance bond being forced on Trump was an effort by James and the state to do as much damage to the former president while it could.

“I think they are confident—or think it’s likely—that this will get reversed, and then there will be no punishment,” he said. “So they’re rushing to inflict as much pain on him as they can right now because once the appeals court puts an end to this, then there will be no repercussions.”

Peebles, a Miami Beach-based real estate developer, remains good friends with the Obamas, but has become more critical of the Democratic Party under the Biden administration. Last month, he called on the party to ditch President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I think that the Democratic Party should turn the page,” Peebles said.

“… I don’t see how [Biden] can beat Donald Trump,” he added. “If all that’s been thrown at the former president has been thrown at him, and he’s still ahead in the polls—it’s telling us all something that Americans don’t want [Biden] and this administration anymore, and it’s time for him to move on for the good of the country.”
