I’M SICK AND TIRED of hearing about everything President Biden has accomplished despite his mental state. In a recent op-ed written by novelist Joeseph Epstein, he declares “How could someone with an enfeebled memory have accomplished all the historically significant improvements his administration has made?
Tell me, Mr. Epstein, what are those historically significant improvements? Time after time I see man-on-the-street interviews with Biden supporters who cannot name one positive thing Biden has accomplished. Crickets.
His massive Inflation Reduction Act isn’t, and few Americans benefited from it unless they purchased an electric car, installed solar panels or improved the insulation in their homes. It was a climate bill that was significant only in that it robbed us of our energy independence, hardly an improvement.
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT – Remember when President Biden lashed out at Special Counsel Robert Hur over the report statement that “(Biden) did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died?”
“How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.” – President Biden
Days later, First Lady Jill Biden felt compelled to comment and did so in a campaign e-mail to donors, writing that it was only included to score “political points,” adding the grief of losing a son is not measured “in years.” No one said it is.
Now we know that it was the president who first introduced Beau’s death during the October interviews with Hur. It surfaced as Biden was trying to recall what was happening while working from his Virginia rental home from 2016 to 2018.
THE WORD “GRATUITOUS” was added to the Democrat’s vocabulary and recommended in the party talking points memo for use by Biden loyalists in defending the president following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on the president’s memory.
Vice President Harris was one of the first out of the barn to comment with “The way the president’s demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated, gratuitous.”
Joe and Mika on MSNBC’s Morning Joe called it “so gratuitous.”
In a letter to Attorney General Garland, the president’s attorneys complained that the details in the report about the president’s recollections “openly, obviously, and blatantly violate department policy and practice.”
“The identified language is neither gratuitous nor unduly prejudicial, “responded Bradley Weinsheimer of the Justice Department, “because it is not offered to criticize or demean the president, rather, it is offered to explain Special Counsel Hur’s conclusion about the president’s state of mind in possessing and retaining classified information.
We’ll hear it directly from Hur on March 12, when he is scheduled to testify about the report to Congress.
A DISTRICT ATTORNEY OVERSTEPS – Watching the Thursday Fulton County Georgia hearing with District Attorney Fani Willis and her prosecutor lover Nathan Wade trying to weasel their way out of charges of their improper relationship was described by one reporter “like watching an episode of the Jerry Springer Show,” the 1990s daytime TV show, but without the fisticuffs and flying chairs.
After a couple hours of Trump defense lawyers questioning a perspiring Wade, Willis surprisingly stormed into the courtroom with several security guards, ready to testify. It is believed that she was watching the proceedings from her office and came down to set the record straight.
She was subpoenaed but wasn’t scheduled to appear at that point. If ever there was an example of condescending arrogance, viewers witnessed it when she strutted to the witness box and sat down.
Most of the questioning, as with Wade, was around money. She paid Wade $650,000 ($250 an hour) in a prosecutorial contract. Questions regarding expenses for cruises and trips the pair took lead to their inability to show invoices for ticket purchases, hotel stays and entertainment, with both insisting it was all paid for with cash. Willis gave Wade as much as $2,500 in one instance.
Willis claimed her father insisted she have cash in her home for contingencies.
It was reminiscent of the stashes of cash found in the home Sen. Robert Menendez, who claimed that it was the practice of his Cuban upbringing to have readily available cash.
Willis didn’t help her case as she spoke of paying for airline tickets, dinners, shopping trips, massages, jet-skiing, wine tasting and wine pairing ventures in Napa Valley, saying she preferred drinking Grey Goose, as she bragged about the power of dealing in cash. She claimed she never benefited financially from the romantic relationship.
Judge Scott McAfee must now basically decide the case on the corruption and impropriety Willis brought on herself, and the inability of either Willis or Wade to provide evidence of various payments. He could decide to dismiss the case or simply remove Willis and her team from the case. Either way, Willis will face disciplinary action, disbarment or even criminal charges.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
