VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Has America Finally Had It With Joe Biden?

By Victor Davis Hanson on X

Joe Biden’s personal approval rating is at historic lows; almost all his policies do not poll fifty percent. He is behind Trump in almost all the swing states. And now he lies serially even to sympathetic interviewers. In short, finally Biden has been exposed for what he always was and represented.

Senator and Vice President Joe Biden was always sort of a buffoon. He is by nature a grandstander who handsomely profited from his office while posing as good ole Joe from Scranton.

He is a blowhard meddler, one who proverbially has been “wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades (Robert Gates),” from dissenting on the Bin Laden raid to his trisection of Iraq scheme.

He is a fabulist who believes that the more animated he misleads and slurs (“semi-fascists” “fat”, “lying dog-faced pony soldier”, “chumps”, “dregs of society”, etc), the more likely he is to get away with it. He is a confessed plagiarist. And he has also invented much of his biography, from would be star, college-scholarship athlete and brilliant law student to semi-truck driver and jailed civil rights activist. His uncle, we are instructed, was eaten by cannibals. Joe assures us that he was the first in his family to go to college.

BREAKING: Election Interference Complaint Filed Against Jack Smith with Inspector General

By Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL):

Inspector General Horowitz: 

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in Trump v. Anderson, No 23-719.  In her concurrence in the unanimous per curium decision, Justice Amy Coney Barrett noted explicitly what is readily apparent to all Americans, and legally relevant to your Department: already, we are in the “volatile season of a Presidential election.”  On May 25, 2022, Attorney General Garland issued his “Memorandum for All Department Employees,” again noting that by that time, “the 2022 election season is upon us.”

             That memo, attached, is quite clear, citing the Department’s Justice Manual, section 9-85.500, which Special Counsel regulations oblige Smith to follow: “Law enforcement officers and prosecutors may never select the timing of public statements (attributed or not), investigative steps, criminal charges, or any other action in any matter or case for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. Such a purpose, or the appearance of such a purpose, is inconsistent with the Department's mission and with the Principles of Federal Prosecution.”

 

            Quite apart from any innuendo or conjecture (and it is wildly clear to the American public that no legitimate purpose exists for Smith’s investigation), a brief of the Special Counsel, before the Supreme Court of the United States, itself tacitly concedes a violation of Departmental rules. (Brief of Jack L. Smith, Special Counsel, in Trump v. United States, No. , Dec. 2023, available at https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-624/292946/20231211144948077_U.S.%20v.%20Donald%20J.%20Trump%20--%20final%20final.pdf ).  Specifically, that reply brief repeatedly urges “rapid” review of the federal prosecution of Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump, and the incredible “public importance” of the case, without once explicitly stating why the rapidity is warranted, or what the public importance is.  Were there a legitimate, non-election related purpose for this request, these attorneys, who have filed in appeals courts many times, would have listed such.  Since charges have been filed and the defendant himself is taking a legal position on timing and lodging various appeals, that justification cannot, for example, be the rights of the defendant under the Constitution or Speedy Trial Act. 

 

So, there can be only one conclusion: Special Counsel Jack Smith sees it as of paramount importance to hold a trial before the November 2024 election, but he is unable to explicitly say so, as such a justification is in violation of Departmental policy and law.

COLOR-CODED CHEAT SHEET: Democrat vs. Republican Policy Positions

Two questions: (#1) Did our Summer Intern Emeritus Biff Spackle forget anything?

(#2) Is the Democrat Party still a legimate political party in the U.S.?

MORE #FAKENEWS: No, the U.S. Doesn't Lead the World in #WuhanVirus Cases

Over at PJ Media, Matt Margolis tallies the latest numbers and, once again, confirms that VHF media think we're idiots.

After compiling data for the top 30 countries with the most cases of the coronavirus, I ranked the top ten countries by confirmed cases per capita (per million) based on the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University’s data as of 11:00 am ET on April 18, 2020.

  1. Spain (4,100.67)
  2. Belgium (3,208.30)
  3. Switzerland (3,166.40)
  4. Italy (2,851.95)
  5. Ireland (2,831.23)
  6. France (2,284.94)
  7. United States (2,135.43)
  8. Portugal (1,930.52)
  9. Netherlands (1,853.88)
  10. United Kingdom (1,698.42)
Oh, and ever wonder why the media parrot Communist China's claims about the origins, nature and quantity of Wuhan Flu cases? Real journalists would have investigated whether there are financial ties between America's struggling legacy media corporations (e.g., advertising deals or under-the-table arrangements). But we don't have real journalists in traditional media any longer, so it will take Project Veritas, Judicial Watch or other truth-seekers to uncover the real story.   Hat tip: BadBlue Uncensored News.

"BUT IT’S JUST LIKE THE FLU!": Top 10 #CoronaVirusOutbreak Updates You Won't See in Legacy Media, 2.8.20 Edition

Based upon the videos leaking out of China, I don't think we're getting the whole story from the Communist dictators who Democrat candidates like Michael Bloomberg, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg so admire. Curated by BadBlue News, my replacement for Drudge.

LOVELY: Democrats Demand Higher Taxes for the Poorest Americans to Pay for Their Socialist Schemes

By The Masked Avenger

Democrats running for president couldn’t be more clear: they want to raise taxes on low- and middle-income Americans. And they’re proud of it!

Not to balance the debt mind you, but to fund their increasingly unhinged policies for "giving" free health care, college tuition, housing and food to everyone in America, with illegal immigrants at the front of the line. Using their logic, they can enslave doctors, nurses, professors, construction workers and farmers to deliver goods and services whether they want to or not.

The latest far-left liberal to enter the Democrat race, Michael Bloomberg, didn’t just argue in favor of raising taxes on the poor—he claimed it was a “good thing” and said he wanted to use taxes to control “problems” with the poorest Americans:

SAN FRANCISCO, PARADISE FOR CRIMINALS: Appeals Court in Kate Steinle Case Overturns Murderer's Only Remaining Conviction

Un. Freaking. Believable.

A state appeals court has overturned a criminal conviction for weapons possession for Jose Ines Garcia-Zarate, who was previously acquitted of the murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco in 2015.

The ruling by three judges in the First Appellate District found that the trial court failed to instruct the jury on a legal defense for Zarate, that he possessed the gun too briefly to be convicted of possessing a firearm as a felon... [his attorney said,] “He picked up an object not knowing what it was, it fired, and he threw it to the ground when it did fire.”

LONDON CALLING: Murder Rate Soaring in Gun-Free U.K.

In spite of a complete ban on guns, murders in London now outpace murders in New York City.

But I'm sure there's a rational explanation, right?

There have been hundreds of knife-related homicides this year. If only there were methods to determine if a pattern exists or any discernible attributes might relate to these crimes...

ON GUNS AND MURDER: An Open Letter to Democrats Who Insist Politicians "Just Do Something"

Say... you did know that the Dayton shooter was an unhinged leftist who despised Trump, loved Warren, and wanted to install socialism no matter what people thought?

6 of the 9 innocents he killed were Black.

But when it comes to Black deaths, I see tumbleweeds, but nary a Democrat. Wait: I hear crickets chirping!

Thousands can die in America's impoverished inner cities every year -- with illegally acquired guns -- and Democrats are silent.

Perhaps it's because they're the ones running those cities, like Chicago, Baltimore and Destroyt. And decades of Democrat leadership have enabled the worst breed of gangsters by criminalizing gun ownership by law-abiding citizens.

Breaking: criminals don't obey laws. Also breaking: when criminals see unarmed victims, they pounce.

Only when Democrats have an opportunity to gain politically do they even care about criminal activity.

According to John Lott, Jr., PhD, Dean's Visiting Professor at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton:

Mark Levin Lights Up Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Like a Christmas Tree at Chernobyl

By Mark R. Levin

This Democrat Party is a horrid party.

It is a party of hate. It is a party of racism. It's a party of anti-semitism. It's a party of un-Americanism, which perhaps explains why the media are attached at the hip to the Democrat Party.

There is a revolution taking place. Over the years I've called it a counter-revolution to the American revolution. It's been going on for a hundred years and you're seeing its progeny right now.

The Democrat Party has always been a hateful party.

Slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, and now today.

If you're an anti-semite, you can find a home in the Democrat Party.

The Democrat Party is the modern home to anti-semitism. As I said, this party has become a poison.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: Are There Any Limits to Illegal Immigration?

By Victor Davis Hanson

The U.S.-Mexican border is essentially wide open.

Why? Because there is a general expectation in Mexico and Latin America that American immigration law is unenforced. Or it is so bizarre that simple illegal entry almost always ensures temporary legal residence, pending an asylum hearing.

A scheduled asylum hearing, in turn, is seen by border crossers as a mere formality to be ignored. The popular perception on the border, then, is to stick one foot illegally onto U.S. soil, and, presto, win permanent residence for you and any family members who wish to follow.

In an age of 500 sanctuary city and county jurisdictions, few illegal aliens believe they will ever be deported permanently, even if they have been apprehended committing serious crimes. There is also a general perception among would-be illegal entrants that prominent Democrats and progressives welcome their massive influxes as useful and will do their best to ensure illegal immigration continues unabated.

CONFIRMED: Paul Ryan was a #NeverTrump Turncoat

So the Left is having a hissy-fit over a comment by @realDonaldTrump:
So here’s the thing. It’s so terrible what’s happening. You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad. But the left plays it cuter and tougher. Like with all the nonsense that they do in Congress … with all these investigations. That’s all they want to do is, you know, they do things that are nasty. Republicans never played this way.”
Bikers for Trump. Controversial.

The same nutjobs who never raised their voice when a certain Barack Hussein Dunham Soetero Obama said "if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

More importantly than that faux kerfuffle, Trump acknowledged that ex-Speaker Paul Ryan was (it would appear) bought and paid for by the Left. To wit:
