<p>Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) delivered a quick fact-check to Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) during a Tuesday hearing, using her own previous actions to discredit her current position on the impeachment of judges.</p>
<p>Crockett, along with several other Democrats, used her time during the committee hearing to complain that democracy itself would be left in shambles if Republicans were to succeed in impeaching any of the judges who have unilaterally blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from taking certain actions.</p>

<p>“The problem that we have right now is that if we continue down this road, we will not have a rule of law because we have people that are currently serving and they’re saying things like, ‘Ignore the judge’s order.’”</p>
<p>Making no mention of the fact that President Joe Biden had done exactly that when he pushed ahead with student loan forgiveness despite a Supreme Court decision stating that he did not have the authority to do so, Crockett continued.</p>
<p>“What it means to have law and order in this country is that you follow the order and you go through the appeals process even if you dislike what the judge did,” Crockett said before yielding back her time.</p>
<p>She relied, as have other Democrats and media talking heads alike, on the narrative claiming that Republicans wanted to impeach the federal judges over rulings they “did not like” — despite the fact that the reasoning given by those calling for impeachment is rooted instead in those judges’ alleged abuses of power.</p>
<p>Issa stepped in briefly then, observing that when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had introduced articles of impeachment against conservative Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, Crockett herself had co-sponsored the move.</p>
<p>“It does seem interesting that when the shoe is on the other foot, everyone is self-righteous!” Issa said before moving on to the next agenda item.</p>

Darrell Issa Stops Crockett Cold With Real-Time Fact Check On Impeaching Judges

CONTINUE READING

<p>Democrats, left-leaning pundits, and legacy media outlets are all talking about the &#8220;bombshells&#8221; included in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson&#8217;s forthcoming book on the last days of the Biden campaign, &#8220;Original Sin.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tapper, a CNN anchor, and Thompson, an Axios reporter, interviewed more than 200 people to catalogue Biden&#8217;s obvious cognitive and physical decline, and the lengths to which the people around him went to cover it up.</p>
<p>But while the book certainly seems to contain previously unknown details, many don&#8217;t seem to be &#8220;bombshells&#8221; to the average American who watched President Joe Biden stumble his way through his re-election campaign.</p>
<p>Here are the &#8220;bombshells.&#8221;</p>
<h3><strong>Biden&#8217;s staff considered the possibility that he might need a wheelchair.</strong></h3>
<p>Biden&#8217;s halting gait was the topic of much conversation among his critics, and according to &#8220;Original Sin,&#8221; it was a concern discussed at length by his staffers. The consensus was that he might <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-team-considered-putting-him-in-a-wheelchair-if-he-won-in-2024-new-book-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">need a wheelchair,</a> but with him still on the ballot at the time, they worried about the optics of taking that step prior to the 2024 election.</p>
<p>&#8220;Biden’s physical deterioration — most apparent in his halting walk — had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair, but they couldn’t do so until after the election,&#8221; Tapper and Thompson wrote.</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s physician, Dr. Kevin O&#8217;Connor, had also privately conveyed his concerns that the president could eventually take a fall that would make a wheelchair a necessity rather than an option.</p>
<p>In order to minimize the risk, Biden&#8217;s team made sure that the president wore shoes that were made for stability and had him board and disembark from Air Force One using the shorter staircase at the rear of the plane.</p>
<p>Still, according to Axios, O&#8217;Connor did not believe that Biden&#8217;s team was doing enough to safeguard the president: &#8220;O’Connor sometimes quipped that Biden’s staff members were trying to kill him, while he was trying to keep him alive.&#8221;</p>
<p>And when anyone asked about his gait or the fact that he&#8217;d switched to the short stairs, Biden&#8217;s team brushed aside concerns by claiming that his halting step was simply the result of his refusal to wear the walking boot long enough after fracturing his foot in November of 2020.</p>
<h3><strong>Biden failed to recognize his friend — and host — George Clooney at his 2024 Hollywood fundraiser.</strong></h3>
<p>Biden had a long history of flubbing the names of people at large events. But Tapper and Thompson wrote that he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/behind-the-scenes-book-reveals-the-extensive-hollywood-magic-that-couldnt-save-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">failed to recognize</a> the Oscar-winning actor — with whom he&#8217;s been friends for years — when he approached him at a Hollywood fundraiser in June of 2024.</p>
<blockquote><p>“You know George,” the assisting aide told the President, gently reminding him who was in front of him. “Yeah, yeah,” the President said to one of the most recognizable men in the world, the host of this lucrative fund-raiser.</p>
<p>“Thank you for being here.”</p>
<p>“Hi, Mr. President,” Clooney said.</p>
<p>“How are ya?” the President replied.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">“How was your trip?” Clooney asked.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">“It was fine,” the President said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">It seemed clear that the President had not recognized Clooney.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">“It was not O.K.,” recalled the Hollywood V.I.P. who had witnessed this moment. “That thing, the moment where you recognize someone you know—especially a famous person who’s doing a f***ing fund-raiser for you — it was delayed. It was uncomfortable.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Biden ultimately had to be reminded that the man standing in front of him was George Clooney.</p>
<h3><strong>Biden was hidden from his own staffers and cabinet members since at least 2023.</strong></h3>
<p>One staffer, who reportedly quit after Biden insisted on pushing ahead with a campaign for reelection, told Tapper and Thompson that access to Biden was strictly limited in order to keep people from seeing just how dramatic a change had taken place.</p>
<p>&#8220;We attempted to shield him from his own staff so many people didn’t realize the extent of the decline beginning in 2023,&#8221; the staffer said. &#8220;I love Joe Biden. When it comes to decency, there are few in politics like him. Still, it was a disservice to the country and to the party for his family and advisers to allow him to run again.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When he proved incapable of delivering a two-minute video address without stumbling, aides filmed him with two cameras so the edit would be less obvious,&#8221; another staffer said.</p>
<p>The White House Press Corps&#8217; already-limited access to Biden was diminished even further, and reports circulated that he hadn&#8217;t met with certain members of his own cabinet in weeks or even months.</p>
<p>Full cabinet meetings, which had been few and far between from the word go, spread out to the point that Biden would hold only three in 2023 and one in 2024.</p>
<p>&#8220;We spoke with several cabinet secretaries for the book, and this period of time is what one of the secretaries called ‘The Weird Period,'&#8221; Jake Tapper said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite the earlier praise, the third cabinet secretary we spoke with told us that starting in 2023, quote, ‘For months we didn’t have access to him. There was clearly a deliberate strategy by the White House to have him meet with as few people as necessary,&#8221; Tapper continued, noting that very few of Biden&#8217;s cabinet secretaries met with the president after late 2023.</p>
<p>&#8220;And it was not just cabinet members who were kept away from the president. Aides who had once seen Biden regularly say they went months without seeing him. Others told us that in some meetings, Biden would mumble incoherently, something the public only got glimpses of,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>If the assertions made in the book — and by other reporters, pundits, and high-ranking Democrats — are to be believed, the White House did such a good job of hiding Biden&#8217;s infirmity from all but his closest advisers that none of them were truly aware of how bad things had gotten until the CNN debate.</p>
<h3>Stay tuned for Part II: Are these really &#8220;bombshells&#8221;?</h3>

Legacy Media Outlets Say Biden Book Is Full Of ‘Bombshells’. Here’s What You Need To Know.

<p>Former FBI Director James Comey landed himself in hot water over what he claimed was a &#8220;shell formation&#8221; that he&#8217;d just happened to stumble upon while walking down the beach.</p>
<p>Comey&#8217;s photo, which he shared via Instagram, showed seashells arranged to form the numbers &#8220;86&#8221; and &#8220;47&#8221; — which was interpreted to mean &#8220;get rid of&#8221; President Donald Trump, the 47th president. It quickly caught the attention of a number of critics — including current FBI Director Kash Patel.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cool shell formation on my beach walk,&#8221; he captioned the since-deleted post.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just James Comey causally calling for my dad to be murdered. This is who the Dem-Media worships. Demented!!!!&#8221; Donald Trump Jr. posted via X.</p>

Disgraced Former FBI Chief Deletes ‘86 47′ Post That Got Kash Patel’s Attention

<p>As more and more &#8220;bombshells&#8221; drop about former President Joe Biden&#8217;s last days in office — many coming from the soon-to-be-released &#8220;Original Sin,&#8221; written by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson — one question has remained top of mind especially for critics of the last administration: &#8220;Who was running the country?&#8221;</p>
<p>Revelations from the book thus far have included, among other things, claims from Biden&#8217;s cabinet members that they were actively kept from meeting with him — claims that appear substantiated by the fact that he only held three full cabinet meetings in 2023 and one in 2024. Tapper and Thompson were also told that Biden failed to recognize his longtime friend — and host — actor George Clooney at a Hollywood fundraiser.</p>
<p>The more evidence piles up, the more critics ask: if Biden was clearly incapable of finishing the 2024 presidential race, then how could anyone say he was still capable of serving as president? And if he was incapable of serving as president, &#8220;who was running the country?&#8221; And, on a related note, where was Vice President Kamala Harris?</p>
<p>&#8220;Dems/media still missing the story on Biden. Yes, it&#8217;s bad that you guys lied about his health. But it&#8217;s amazing that nobody is asking WHO WAS RUNNING THE COUNTRY FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, because it was clearly not the guy we elected. We had a soft coup,&#8221; one person posted, noting that legacy media outlets seemed wholly uninterested in that story.</p>

In The Wake Of Biden Book ‘Bombshells,’ One Pressing Question Still Remains

<p>The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; joined a number of other media personalities in claiming that President Donald Trump was only allowing 59 Afrikaners to claim <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spare-me-scott-jennings-scorches-dems-for-sudden-about-face-on-refugees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refugee status</a> because they are white — while also claiming that because the Afrikaners are white, they are not &#8220;truly refugees.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sunny Hostin addressed the issue during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast, complaining that the Trump administration had limited refugee status for Afghans and Haitians, to whom she referred as &#8220;truly refugees.&#8221; Hostin also took a swing at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, saying she found it to be an &#8220;insult&#8221; that the former South Dakota Governor holds that position.</p>

<p>&#8220;For me, you know, I think one thing — having Kristi Noem be in charge of Homeland Security, in and of itself, is an insult, it&#8217;s just an insult,&#8221; Hostin began. &#8220;And I think something that we&#8217;re not talking about — enough about — is what Donald Trump did on Monday: the Trump administration allowed in 59 white South African refugees into this country, claiming that they were fleeing racial discrimination and land appropriation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hostin went on to claim that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa had disputed reports of land appropriation and racially motivated discrimination — despite the fact that Ramaphosa himself signed a bill into law in late January that allows the government to expropriate private property for reasons up to and including &#8220;to promote inclusivity and access to natural resources.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Afrikaners, according to Hostin, did not qualify as refugees. Instead, she referenced refugees from Afghanistan and falsely claimed that the program in place to grant protected status to Afghans &#8220;who helped us&#8221; during the war had been ended. In fact, the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/afghans-deportation-protections-ending/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> Afghan Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program is entirely separate from the more permanent Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program exclusively for Afghans who were allies during the war.</p>
<p>&#8220;And so the fact that Afghan refugees — people who helped us during the Afghanistan war — who helped us and protected our troops, that program has been dismissed. The fact that Haitians that are truly refugees, they have been denied protected status.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re not white people. That&#8217;s why they don&#8217;t want them here,&#8221; cohost Joy Behar suggested.</p>
<p>&#8220;She said it, I didn&#8217;t,&#8221; Hostin agreed.</p>

‘The View’ Hosts Are Pretty Sure That White South Africans Aren’t ‘Truly Refugees’

<p>President Donald Trump panned the notion of birthright citizenship on Thursday ahead of arguments on the subject at the Supreme Court, saying that it&#8217;s bad for the United States and good for illegal aliens who want to gain a foothold in the country. &#8220;The drug cartels love it!&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Trump laid out his complaint in a lengthy post to his Truth Social platform, arguing that the practice was outdated and that in the 21st century, there was no place for a policy that automatically conferred citizenship to every baby born on American soil.</p>

<p>&#8220;Big case today in the United States Supreme Court,&#8221; Trump began. &#8220;Birthright Citizenship was not meant for people taking vacations to become permanent Citizens of the United States of America, and bringing their families with them, all the time laughing at the &#8216;SUCKERS&#8217; that we are!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows — But the drug cartels love it!&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country but, in actuality, this is the exact opposite of being politically correct, and it is yet another point that leads to the dysfunction of America.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump went on to explain the roots of birthright citizenship as a policy, noting that it dated back to the end of the Civil War.</p>
<p>&#8220;Birthright Citizenship is about the babies of slaves,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;As conclusive proof, the Civil War ended in 1865, the Bill went to Congress less than a year later, in 1866, and was passed shortly after that. It had nothing to do with Illegal Immigration for people wanting to SCAM our Country, from all parts of the World, which they have done for many years. It had to do with Civil War results, and the babies of slaves who our politicians felt, correctly, needed protection.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Please explain this to the Supreme Court of the United States,&#8221; the president added. &#8220;Again, remember, the Civil War ended in 1865, and the Bill goes to Congress in 1866 — We didn’t have people pouring into our Country from all over South America, and the rest of the World. It wasn’t even a subject. What we had were the BABIES OF SLAVES. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Good luck with this very important case. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.!&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump followed that a short time later with a second post, once again referencing the policy&#8217;s origin just after the Civil War ended: &#8220;Remember, it all started right after the Civil War ended, it had nothing to do with current day Immigration Policy!&#8221;</p>
<p>Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) echoed Trump&#8217;s thoughts in a post to X, saying, &#8220;Granting birthright citizenship to illegal aliens is unlawful and it has contributed to the highest levels of illegal immigration in history. President Trump is right to call to end this farce.&#8221;</p>

Trump Sounds Off On Birthright Citizenship Ahead Of SCOTUS Argument: ‘Drug Cartels Love It’

<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) refused to answer a question from CNN anchor Kasie Hunt about former President Joe Biden&#8217;s obvious cognitive decline, saying instead that he was &#8220;looking forward&#8221; and changing the subject to attack President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>In the context of the forthcoming book &#8220;Original Sin&#8221; — which explores Biden&#8217;s decline and the lengths to which the people around him went to cover it up — Hunt asked Schumer a question that essentially boiled down to the classic &#8220;what did you know, and when did you know it?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">CNN’s ⁦<a href="https://twitter.com/kasie?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kasie</a>⁩ Hunt to Chuck Schumer: “Did you really not have any idea that Biden was “not fit to serve a second term?”</p>
<p>Schumer: *refuses to answer* <a href="https://t.co/misRQOnd9F">pic.twitter.com/misRQOnd9F</a></p>

<p>&#8220;I really do want to ask you about something that has been breaking out of CNN, our Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have written a book called &#8216;Original Sin&#8217; and they call it a cover-up of Biden&#8217;s health and his cognition and his fitness, quite frankly, to be President of the United States,&#8221; Hunt began, and she noted that Schumer had met with Biden on a number of occasions in the months leading up to the disastrous debate on CNN in late June.</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?&#8221; she asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kasie, we&#8217;re looking forward,&#8221; Schumer replied. &#8220;We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us, we have the whole federal government at risk —&#8221;</p>
<p>Hunt interrupted then, reminding Schumer that the entire premise of the book was that Biden&#8217;s apparent lack of fitness — and his insistence upon running anyway — may be the reason Democrats were dealing with a second term under President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re looking forward,&#8221; Schumer said again, making it clear that he had no intention whatsoever of addressing her question.</p>
<p>According to the book, Schumer actually <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamalas-team-tosses-biden-under-the-bus-blames-him-for-2024-loss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met with Biden</a> in Rehoboth Beach after the debate in June, warning him that if he did not choose to exit the presidential race gracefully, he was likely to lose to Trump and sully 50 years of public service.</p>

Hour 1

Ben After Dark

No One Asked For This

The very first full episode of Ben After Dark delivers everything no one asked for: unsolicited opinions, probably illegal pharmaceutical pitches, and definitive proof that a certain ice cream company (rhymes with Ken & Terry’s) should stick to dairy and stay out of Middle Eastern diplomacy. Ben judges questionable “talent,” and confirms that, yes, Riley Gaines really did recommend Dumbo—because nothing says prestige television like a grown man rewatching traumatized animated elephants. Add in unsolicited mailbag chaos and one very loud meltdown, and you’ve got a show that’s exactly what happens when no one says no to Ben.
