REPORT: Obama Warning Biden Could ‘Very Well Lose’ to Trump in 2024

(Headline USA) Former President Barack Obama is warning Democrats that President Joe Biden may very well lose the 2024 election, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Obama—who notably refrained from endorsing Biden back in 2020 until it was clear he would win the Democratic primary—“knows this is going to be a close race” and “feels that Democrats very well could lose” because of Biden, a source familiar with the former president’s thinking said. 

The former president has also allegedly described the possibility of another Trump win as “dangerous for democracy.”

Though Obama hasn’t publicly mentioned his concerns, some of his close allies have. His former top political adviser, for example, was one of the first to come out against Biden’s reelection bid.

“Job approval down, ratings generally down, most of the comparatives with Trump not good,” former Obama campaign manager David Axelrod said on a recent podcast. “What I worry about, you guys, from a Biden standpoint, is these are the kinds of things you get when people are starting to rationalize their votes.”

Biden’s campaign has tried to downplay concerns about his poor polling, admitting that it knows 2024 will be a tough race.

“Make no mistake, 2024 will be a close election,” Biden campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez stressed to reporters last month.

“And we know that we can’t take anything for granted,” she added. “We’ve been saying that from the beginning.”

However, most pollsters agree that former President Donald Trump’s new lead against Biden is unprecedented, since none of the polls leading up to the 2020 election had Trump ahead.

Now, Trump is leading by 3.5 percentage points nationally, according to the RealClearPolitics average, and he is leading Biden in several swing states that played a part in both men’s respective victories: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia.

Trump also has a lead in Nevada, which he lost both races; and in North Carolina, which he won both times—although economic growth in urban areas like Charlotte and Durham has inched it ever closer to becoming a “purple” state.

When asked about these numbers, Biden’s communications director Michael Tyler downplayed the concerns.

“Time and again, Biden beats expectations,” he said. “Happened in 2020, happened in 2022.”

Many continue to suspect that Democrats may seek to pull a last-minute bait-and-switch by substituting Biden with a more politically viable candidate during or after their convention next August—including, potentially, former first lady Michelle Obama.

Joe and Jill Biden Blame His Campaign For Poor Poll Numbers

(Headline USA) President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have been complaining to their aides about his low poll numbers leading into the 2024 election and blaming his campaign for not mitigating the damage, according to the Washington Post.

The Post reported that Joe Biden gathered a group of campaign and White House officials together after the annual turkey pardon and “delivered some stern words [because] … [h]is poll numbers were unacceptably low and he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it.”

Joe Biden was specifically upset with the failure of his economic messaging “to move the ball, even as the economy was growing and unemployment was falling,” sources told the publication.

Jill Biden has also “grown upset” that her husband’s team is “not making more progress,” especially as more and more poll results show Joe Biden trailing former President Donald Trump, the Post said.

When asked about the report, White House spokesman Andrew Bates declined to deny the allegations.

“We do not discuss the president’s private conversations one way or the other,” he said. “The president and first lady meet regularly with their senior team for updates and to review plans.”

The concerns with Biden’s reelection campaign aren’t just coming from within the White House. Outside of it, a growing number of Biden allies are beginning to distance themselves from the president.

“I feel the same way I did in 2015 and 2016,” Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., told the Post, warning that Biden will have a difficult time winning the state of Michigan again.

Former Rep. Conor Lamb, D-Pa., agreed that his home state of Pennsylvania, which helped Biden secure the White House in 2020, is not looking good for Democrats this time around. 

“We feel like we have a good story to tell, but that doesn’t seem to be registering yet,” he explained, adding that it’s left Democrats in a “state of paralysis” as to how to help Biden’s campaign.

FBI Provocateur from Whitmer Kidnap Plot Given Sweetheart Deal to Settle Felony Theft Charge

FBI Provocateur from Whitmer Kidnap Plot Given Sweetheart Deal to Settle Felony Theft Charge

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Stephen Robeson, one of the key FBI informants who fomented a conspiracy to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, has recently been given a sweetheart plea deal to settle a felony theft charge.

As part of the Whitmer conspiracy, Robeson headed a fake militia called the Wisconsin III%ers, which was actually an FBI front group. He made one of the defendants, Adam Fox, the head of another fake militia, Michigan’s so-called III%er group.

Along with organizing a national field-training exercise for the Whitmer conspiracy defendants, he also fed them drugs and alcohol before recording their wild ravings.

The Justice Department later accused Robeson of being a “double agent” in an attempt to distance itself from his illegal activities he conducted while acting as an agent of the state. However, it looks like the government is still treating Robeson lightly.

Christina Urso, who’s making a documentary on the Whitmer case, broke down the details of Robeson’s recent plea deal in a broadcast Friday.

Citing a public court docket, Urso reported that Robeson received a $528 fine and will not serve any jail time for his recent offense—which stems from him defrauding a couple out of an SUV by claiming that it was for his “charity” to help victims of child trafficking.

Robeson was reportedly facing up to three and a half years in prison and $10,000 in fines.

“[Robeson] has once again received NO jail time and NO probation despite having a lengthy criminal record including prior felonies and convictions for things like having sex with a child 16 or over, sexual assault, fraud, bail jumping, and a slew of other crimes,” Urso said of the matter.

“Robeson has a criminal history that spans nine states over several decades, involvement in criminal gangs and biker gangs, as well as prior work for the FBI going back to the 1980s,” she added.

This latest sweetheart deal for Robeson follows another agreement he struck with prosecutors in 2021, in relation to a charge that he possessed an illegal .50 Cal sniper rifle.

Urso and others noted the discrepancy between Robeson’s punishment and that of the Whitmer defendants that he helped entrap.

“FBI informants can break the law with impunity across numerous states lines while the innocent men they helped entrap and frame rot in Supermax and federal prisons,” Urso said. “Shameful.”

Leftists Turn against Fetterman after He Distances Himself from ‘Progressive’ Label

Leftists Turn against Fetterman after He Distances Himself from ‘Progressive’ Label

(Headline USA) The Left is turning on Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., after the senator came out against them on several key issues, admitting that he is “not a progressive.”

Fetterman has been vocally supportive of Israel in its war against Hamas since Oct. 7, which has separated him from some of the more radical Democrats in Congress, such as the “Squad.”

He has also publicly criticized Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., after the senior senator was federally indicted on bribery charges.

And most recently, Fetterman acknowledged Democrats need to tackle the immigration issue, arguing against the Left’s radical open-border policies.

“It’s a reasonable conversation, until somebody can say there’s an explanation on what we can do when 270,000 people [per month] are being encountered on the border—not including the ones, of course, that we don’t know about,” Fetterman said last week. “To put that in reference, that is essentially the size of Pittsburgh, the second-largest city in Pennsylvania.”

When asked about his controversial positions, Fetterman said his party had the wrong idea about what kind of Democrat is.

“I just think I’m a Democrat that is very committed to ‘choice’ and other things,” he told NBC News, ostensibly using the Left’s sanitized euphemism for the systemic dismemberment and murder of preborn infants.

“But with Israel, I’m going to be on the right side of that,” he added. “And immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”

In response, progressives accused Fetterman of betraying the cause after “pretending” to align himself with the Left for years.

The New Republic, a leftist outlet, pointed to a 2022 endorsement of Fetterman by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and a number of leftist policies, such as universal healthcare and a wealth tax, that Fetterman made a part of his campaign.

The publication also cited statements Fetterman made throughout his career in Pennsylvania politics, including a 2016 tweet in which he declared: “We have started a progressive movement here in Pennsylvania.”

In an additional post, Fetterman added, “It’s not going away. We’re not going away, This isn’t over. This is not how our story ends.”

At the time, Fetterman was serving as the mayor of Braddock, Pa., while running in the primary race for the Senate seat that he would eventually fill, replacing the retiring incumbent, Pat Toomey, a Republican.

Fetterman’s seat gave Democrats their only pickup in the 2022 midterm election, but it was enough to secure an outright majority without having to resort to using Vice President Kamala Harris as the tiebreaking vote to advance their radical agenda.

But Fetterman’s flip-flop casts further doubt on the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s ability to move legislation through the upper chamber, particularly as several other “centrist” Democrats find themselves in politically vulnerable spots ahead of the 2024 election.

Fetterman’s chief of staff, Adam Jentleson, defended the senator, arguing that he has “always had” these positions.

“He’s just being consistent.” Jentleson told NBC. “He spent the entire campaign telling people he wasn’t a down-the-line lefty.”

Court Filing: Patriot Front Leaders Went ‘Underground’

Court Filing: Patriot Front Leaders Went ‘Underground’

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Where in the world is Thomas Rousseau, the leader of the right-wing nationalist group Patriot Front?

Multiple parties suing Patriot Front want to know the answer to that question, accusing Rousseau and another member of going “underground.” Though Rousseau continues to make regular podcast appearances and statements on Patriot Front’s Telegram channel, plaintiffs in civil litigation say they can’t find him.

“Patriot Front has no known physical address and operates as a semi-clandestine white nationalist organization online. And Defendant Rousseau and Defendant [Trevor] Valescu’s whereabouts are likewise unknown, despite Plaintiffs’ best efforts to locate them,” stated two North Dakota non-profit organizations last week, in a lawsuit against the Patriot Front for allegedly defacing local shops owned by immigrants.

“Plaintiffs have retained private investigators to identify Defendants Rousseau and Valescu’s locations for service but have not succeeded. Defendants Rousseau and Valescu appear to have gone underground to avoid public scrutiny of their actions (and likely to avoid service in similar lawsuits pending against them),” said the groups, the North Dakota Human Rights Coalition and the Immigrant Development Center.

Likewise, a black man suing the Patriot Front for allegedly assaulting him—allegations the group’s attorney has vehemently denied—also says he can’t find Rousseau.

That plaintiff, Charles Murrell III, said on Nov. 2 that he sent a process server to Rousseau’s Texas address, but found that his home was listed as for sale. The process server found another address in Texas associated with Rousseau, and unsuccessfully attempted to serve him at least four times there, according to Murrell.

Both the North Dakota groups and Murrell filed motions to serve the Patriot Front and its members via email. A judge allowed the North Dakota groups to do so in an order last week, while the judge in Murrell’s case has not yet ruled on the matter.

The Patriot Front did not respond to a Headline USA inquiry seeking a response to the plaintiffs’ allegations.

Rousseau, who recently had a criminal case against him dismissed in Idaho, has already defaulted in yet another lawsuit involving the vandalism of a mural honoring black tennis star Arthur Ashe.

Meanwhile, the Patriot Front looks to be having its own difficulty in serving a man who infiltrated and doxxed the group. In that case, several Patriot Front members said last month that they can’t locate the infiltrator, alleged Antifa member David Capito, who apparently changed his name to Vyacheslav Arkadyevich Arkhangelskiy last year.

“Plaintiffs have had concerns that Mr. Capito would be difficult to track down based upon information and belief as to his recent name change and the potential for evading service based upon the Complaint allegations of his use of false identities,” said the members, who sought a time extension to serve Capito.

A judge granted the Patriot Front members a time extension to serve Capito. They have until Feb. 21.

Hamas Activists Terrorize Kids Waiting to See Santa at Canadian Mall

Hamas Activists Terrorize Kids Waiting to See Santa at Canadian Mall

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Pro-Hamas activists terrorized children waiting in line to see Santa at an Ottawa, Canada, mall on Saturday, Red State reported.

The activists waved flags, chanted and banged objects as they created a general ruckus in Ottawa’s Bayshore mall.

“While you’re shopping, bombs are dropping!” they chanted, some among them wearing burkas and many of them dropping f-bombs of their own amongst families.

“If your kids are scared, imagine what the kids in Palestine feel,” one activist can be heard shouting at a parent who asked the mob to quiet down.

The group of rabble then started to shout, “Jesus was Palestinian” as they assailed Santa, who had two children on his lap at the time.

Bethlehem, the birthplace of the Christian messiah, Jesus Christ, is currently under Palestinian occupation, although a Palestinian nation has never formally existed. At the time, the region of Nazareth and other areas in what has historically been considered the Jewish “promised land” of Israel were under Roman control.

The Hamas protesters also called for violence in the name of peace as they demanded that normal people devote their lives to becoming radicalized in support of the globalist Left.

The instance is just one among many such cases.

Last week, for instance, pro-Hamas rioters blocked off Freeway 110 in Los Angeles, causing a big traffic mess.

The protesters linked arms across the freeway, chanting “shut it down” and saying slogans, like “ceasefire now.”

The riot led to violence as people attempted to break through the lines. Still, the group promised to continue organizing riots.

“We will continue to protest until the killing and mass displacement stop, all the hostages are home, and safety is guaranteed for civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law,” the activist group IfNotNow Los Angeles announced.

And they held true to their word, on Friday attempting to block of traffic near Los Angeles International Airport on one of the busiest travel days of the year.

Yet such facts did not bother 25-year-old activist and graduate student, Oliver Solares, who said the inconveniences caused were trivial compared to the horrors in Palestine.

“That anger is marginal to what’s happening to people across the world,” he said.

“They’re being bombed, killed,” he continued. “Being mad at traffic for two hours is marginal. It comes from a place of privilege.”

REPORT: Ashley Biden Also Failed to Pay Income Taxes

REPORT: Ashley Biden Also Failed to Pay Income Taxes

(Headline USA) President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, could also be found guilty of tax crimes for failing to pay $5,000 in income taxes beginning in 2015, according to Fox News.

Ashley Biden was recently slapped with a tax lien docket by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue in Philadelphia County that the government could take action to seize her assets since she had failed to respond to multiple efforts to collect the unpaid taxes.

“Amount of such unpaid tax, interest, additions or penalties is a lien in favor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania upon the taxpayer’s property—real, personal, or both—as the case may be,” the notice read.

The document says the unpaid taxes date back to Jan. 1, 2015, when Joe Biden was vice president in the Obama administration.

The alleged tax evasion is not nearly as bad as the charges against Hunter Biden, who allegedly failed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in income taxes, but it does establish a familial pattern, argued Garrett Ziegler, the founder of nonprofit Marco Polo.

“Joe is constantly talking about how wealthy and connected people do not pay their fair share and can afford to pay more, and it just so happens that both of his living children did not pay their taxes,” he said. “You’d think that they would show a little bit more prudence when you’re the American first family to make sure you don’t have any tax liens on you, especially going into an election year.”

Ashley Biden is Joe Biden’s youngest child and his only child with his wife Jill Biden. She worked for her father’s presidential campaign in 2020, but—as of this year—was reportedly applying for a doctorate in clinical social work at the University of Pennsylvania.

Hunter Biden was recently slapped with nine additional charges for tax evasion, including failure to file and pay taxes and false or fraudulent tax return.

The charges accused Hunter Biden of “engag[ing] in a four year scheme to not pay at least $1.4 million” in taxes that he owed from 2016 to 2019.

Biden Stupefied as Alleged Drunken Driver Slams into Motorcade

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) In a bizarre series of events, a car ran into one of the presidential motorcade’s vehicles on Sunday night, leaving President Joe Biden in shock, the Daily Mail reported.

The president and first lady Jill Biden were walking out of their Wilmington, Delaware, campaign headquarters Sunday night when the accident took place.

While Biden was walking from the campaign office to his waiting armored SUV, the sedan struck a U.S. Secret Service vehicle that was being used to seal off the area surrounding the headquarters for the president’s visit.

The driver then tried to continue forward into the closed-off intersection, before Secret Service agents surrounded the vehicle with weapons drawn and instructed the driver to put his hands up.

After the collision, Secret Service members hurried the couple into an armored SUV to make a quick escape, not knowing whether or not the collision was intentional.

“Wow!” the president could be heard saying on video footage of the event.

The car that hit one of the motorcade SUVs was a Ford sedan with Delaware plates. The driver was questioned after the incident and complied with all authorities.

Wilmington police said Monday their investigation determined the driver, a 46-year-old Wilmington man, accidentally struck the SUV and he was charged with drunken driving and inattentive driving.

Media members were forced to leave immediately after the collision.

In other video footage, a media member can be heard before the crash asking Biden, “Mr. President, why are you losing to Donald Trump in the polls?”

Just before the collision can be heard in the background, Biden responded, “you’re reading the wrong polls!”

Yet the polls to which Biden was alluding remain questionable, and even corporate media outlets are recognizing the uphill battle he faces.

For several months now, and despite the Democrats’ election machinations, Trump has led the president in the polls in key swing states ahead of the 2024 election.

Things are so bad for the president that numerous Democrats have announced that they prefer Trump–who is often portrayed as the opponent of American democracy–to Biden.

“Among voters who usually make out the Democratic base—young voters, black voters, Hispanic voters, Asian voters, LGBT voters—get this, all of them collectively gave Donald Trump a higher approval rating than President Biden,” John King said while a guest on CNN’s “Outfront” earlier this month.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

FBI Arrests Another Member of Satanic, Neo-Nazi Terrorist Cult

FBI Arrests Another Member of Satanic, Neo-Nazi Terrorist Cult

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Justice Department filed charges last week against another member of the Satanic neo-Nazi terrorist cult, the Order of the Nine Angles, or O9A—a group heavily infiltrated by the feds, and involved in several recent alleged terrorist plots, as well as the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right march-turned-riot.

According to the DOJ’s charging papers, the man arrested, Kalana Limkin, was also a member of the O9A offshoot group, 764, and he created yet another group called Cultist. As the leader of Cultist, Limkin allegedly promoted child pornography, child exploitation, sexual extortion, and trafficking, animal cruelty and self-harm of minors.

The details of Limkin’s alleged activities are horrendous. According to the DOJ, he would find minors online and extort them into posting nude pictures or violent actions—or sometimes both.

With one victim, Limkin allegedly shared his screen and showed her child pornography of a 5 year old girl being raped.

“Limkin had rules for MV [minor victim] and would make girls cut his name into their body and had a collage of pictures of it. Limkin reportedly talked to other minor females and asked for nude photographs every two hours and commented that ‘the younger [the females], the better,’” an FBI affidavit stated.

“Limkin asked MV for photographs of herself in her underwear. Limkin was on 4Chan, which is an internet messaging board where users can post content anonymously, and posted child pornography so MV reported him. Limkin would also post Nazi and child pornography memes in his Discord server.”

The FBI affidavit said the bureau launched an investigation into Limkin in May, and then interviewed the abovementioned victim a month later.

It took another six months for the FBI to finally arrest him in Hawaii. Agents did so last Wednesday, and he allegedly admitted to possessing child porn and being involved in Cultist and the O9A.

Only a portion of the FBI affidavit was released on Friday. The FBI asked for the remainder to be sealed due to an ongoing investigation.

The person who signed the affidavit supporting the criminal complaint against Limkin is an agent of the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division assigned to an FBI joint terrorism task force, or JTTF.

Headline USA sent email queries to the Army and the FBI, asking whether Limkin is a member of the Army. Neither organization immediately responded.

Limkin is set to have an initial court appearance today. The DOJ has filed a motion to keep him detained for all the obvious reasons.

His arrest follows the FBI arresting another member of O9A and 764, Angel Almeida, in October. Like Limkin, Almeida allegedly posted child porn online and encouraged minors to do the same.

According to the DOJ and others, O9A’s activities aren’t simply debauchery for the sake of debauchery. Rather, the group has a terroristic goal in mind: to corrupt the youth, which will accelerate the collapse of Western society.

“O9A embraces terrorism, including radical Islamic jihadist ideology and the violent tactics of jihadist groups, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (“ISIS”) and al Qaeda, as a means to accelerate the decline of Western society and to attack Jewish people in particular,” the DOJ said in a motion to keep Limkin imprisoned.

“’764′ represents a radical shift in the group to specifically target children and use
CSAM and videos depicting animal cruelty, self-harm, and other acts of violence
to accelerate chaos in society.”

As Headline USA has reported, O9A has some spooky connections to U.S. security agencies. Its founder was purportedly a member of a CIA-sponsored militia in the United Kingdom during the Cold War, and its U.S. leader, Josh Sutter, is a longtime FBI informant.

O9A has fomented several neo-Nazi terrorist plots, and an O9A-linked neo-Nazi participated in the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally.

‘Just a Coincidence’: New Minnesota Flag Draws Backlash for Somali Resemblance

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A Minnesota commission tasked with redesigning the state’s flag faced significant backlash on Twitter due to allegations that the new design closely resembled flags from territories in Somalia, an East African country. 

The proposed design includes an eight-point North Star, along with a tricolor stripe (blue, white, and green) symbolizing elements reminiscent of the state’s geography, including mountains, water bodies, and the sky.

A post shared by 👻Somalisnaps ✪ (@somalisnaps)

The change came after complaints that the old flag was offensive to Native Americans. As reported by the StarTribune on Friday, the commission settled on the new design but will likely undergo further edits in the upcoming days.

However, the final draft came under immediate scrutiny from social media critics who drew parallels between the proposed flag and those of Jubaland and Puntland, two Somali federal states.

In response, a popular conservative account, End Wokeness, posted on Twitter, “Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the West. Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minnesota) is from Puntland. Minnesota just unveiled their new flag. I’m sure this is just a coincidence.”

In a separate tweet, End Wokeness added, “Minnesota just replaced its official state flag with a new flag that looks awfully similar to Somalia. They are rubbing it in our faces.” 

Political science professor Wilfred Reilly reacted, expressing disbelief, “Holy crap – this is actually real.”  

Similarly, Conservative commentator James Lindsay blasted what he described as a rampant attempt to change the designs of American flags.

“The state-by-state agenda to change state flags is big. Happened first in Utah. Now Minnesota with Pennsylvania up to bat. The revolution is proceeding with what pretend to be reasonable issues,” Lindsay said. 

Former NBA player and GOP Senate nominee hopeful Royce White criticized the proposed flag, alleging a communist plot.

“Now what on earth is going on here? You sick communist freaks redesign the Minnesota state flag… And make a spitting image of the this Jubaland Somalia flag? These are your leaders Minnesota,” said White, who unsuccessfully ran against Omar in 2022. 

“This is why I’m running for United States Senate. How do we even have time for this but the kids can’t read?! I will go to the Somali community with a camera and ask them what they think of these Democrats, including Ilhan Omar,” he added.

While it’s unlikely that Omar had any involvement in the flag’s design, the flags were revealed by a state government-appointed 13-member commission, according to the StarTribune.

Commission chair Luis Fitch, as reported by the StarTribune, defended the new design, acknowledging that not everyone will identify with it. 

“The next generation will be raised with a new flag. It’s going to happen,” Fitch claimed. “We’re not going to be able to make everybody happy. The whole idea since day one was to make sure we can [create] a flag that unites us instead of separates us.”

Other critics made their voices heard on Twitter:
