Confused Puppet Biden Ends Speech, Asks Handlers “What Do We Do Now” Before Finding a Little Girl In The Crowd to Creep On

Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday delivered remarks on trucking and the supply chain crisis.

As usual, the appearance was a total trainwreck that was filled with the usual incoherent ramblings of a man whose marbles clearly ain’t all there, but, when Biden wrapped up, things just got plain embarrassing… and a little creepy.

Following his speech that was, as usual, riddled with lies about his personal history, a clueless Biden turned desperately to his handlers and was caught on a hot mic asking “what do we do now?”

His handlers then had to shepherd him down the steps of the platform.

Oof. This guy has no clue what’s going on… He can’t even read the teleprompter. The ‘Weekend at Bernies’ presidency in action.

Biden, however, is able to stay somewhat lucid when he spots someone he wants to creep on. Immediately after departing the podium, Biden beeline straight to a little girl who was sitting in the front row.

As usual, creepy Uncle Joe just couldn’t help himself around the children.

Watch, a perfect encapsulation of the Brandon Regime in 30 seconds.:

Trump Endorsed Candidate Caught on Hidden Camera Trashing Claims That Election Was Stolen, Says It’s the GOP Version of Russiagate

Republican Arkansas Senator John Boozman, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has been caught on hidden camera comparing concerns about the legitimacy of the 2020 election to the Democrat’s Russiagate hysteria.

Sen. Boozman has said that he does not believe Trump should run in 2024, previously saying “I don’t see it happening.”

In the hidden camera footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit, Boozman Says the 2020 election was okay, because Republicans investigated it.

“What are your thoughts on the legitimacy of the 2020 election? Like, is that something that we should continue to talk about or do you think that’s something that…” the woman asks.

Sen. Boozeman responds that, “as far as the legitimacy, I believe strongly that once the states certify… you know each state, they act independently once they certify, then it’s over. Okay, unless, you know, something blatant comes up. But we had a situation with a Republican justice department, you know, and the attorney general said, ‘It’s okay. We looked at these things,’ but once you certify them and go forward, then at that point it’s over.”

The senator also said Trump should “let it go” and that him wanting former Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify certain state was “absolutely nuts.”

“Once the state agrees that hey, this is.. This is the results…we’re going forward, then you have to let it go. This deal about Mike Pence being able to… That was absolutely nuts… that was just…” Boozeman says. “You know, if you’ve got a situation where somehow the Vice President can, they’d never leave office. You know, it’s just, it’s crazy… So I think once they certify, constitutionally, that’s where it ends and that’s Tom Cotton’s opinion.”

The Trump-endorsed senator who is seeking re-election was then asked about election fraud.

“Do you think some of that may have gone on a little bit in the 2020 election?” Boozman is asked.

Boozeman said “I’ve not seen, and again this might change tomorrow, but I’ve not seen anyone come forward, kind of like in, when we had the deal in Florida with Bush, you know the recount there. Nobody ever proved that.. that that wasn’t a good count. Uh, but with this deal, I mean nobody’s shown anything to prove that, you know there’s enough, if there was irregulation, nothing really in this last election would have changed it… in the states.”

Biden’s ‘Absolute’ Defense of Hunter Leaves Media and Justice Department in a Muddle

Below is my column in The Hill on President Joe Biden doubling down on his absolute defense of his son Hunter Biden. The comments only magnify the concerns over Attorney General Merrick Garland refusing to appoint a special counsel despite the clear basis for such an appointment. It is clear that the President “absolutely” stands by his son and that the media absolutely stands by the President. The question is whether Garland will stand by justice and appoint a special counsel.

Here is the column:

“We absolutely stand by the president’s comment.” With those words, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield reaffirmed that President Biden maintains his son Hunter Biden did “nothing [that] was unethical” and never “made money” in China.

Those claims appear demonstrably false — and they make the positions of both the media and Attorney General Merrick Garland absolutely untenable.

For the media, the ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden by U.S. Attorney David Weiss in Delaware has presented a growing danger of self-indictment over its prior coverage (or noncoverage). Weiss has called a long line of witnesses before a grand jury, and there is growing expectation of criminal charges against Hunter Biden.

Nothing concentrates the mind as much as a looming indictment.

Thus, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and other media faced the embarrassing prospect of an indictment based on a story they previously suggested was either a nonstory or Russian disinformation. Suddenly, in recent days, they all rushed to declare the story legitimate, 18 months after the New York Post reported it in October 2020.

What quickly emerged, though, was a new narrative: None of this implicates President Biden. On CNN, White House correspondent John Harwood declared, “There is zero evidence that Vice President Biden, or President Biden, has done anything wrong in connection with what Hunter Biden has done.” Anchor Brianna Keilar then added for emphasis that Harwood was making “an important distinction.”

It was important, but not because it was true. While many media figures now willingly admit the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s abandoned-laptop story, they are avoiding what the emails found on that laptop actually contain. Hundreds of emails appear to detail a multimillion-dollar influence-peddling enterprise by the Biden family, including Hunter Biden and his uncle James Biden.

Influence peddling has long been the way Washington’s elite enriches itself. This common source of political corruption involves the relatives of powerful government figures who shake down corporations or countries for access and influence.

The Bidens would seem to be standouts in this common practice, engaging in a virtual family business. James Biden has been accused of marketing his connection to his brother. And in the emails discovered on his abandoned laptop, Hunter Biden practically sold timeshares of his father by dangling meetings and dinners for investors.

Leaked DHS Document Reveals Biden’s Mass-Migration Plan Offers ‘Broadscale Release Mechanisms’

The Department of Homeland Security is disseminating a mass migration plan devoid of removal mechanisms to replace the soon-to-end CDC Title 42 emergency order. The plan predicts that DHS traditional processing capabilities will be overwhelmed and require an increase in the use of “broadscale release mechanisms.”

The plan, reviewed by Breitbart Texas, acknowledges the end of Title 42 will likely result in a surge in illegal migration along the southwest border. The increase is already manifesting itself as apprehensions rise. In March, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 200,000 migrants.

The draft plan, recently circulated to senior DHS staff, is dated February 17, 2022. A source within the agency, not authorized to speak to the media, says the plan offers no concrete options other than to exhaust more resources to absorb what will likely be a historic wave of migrants at the southern border.

The source says the agency is already exceeding temporary detention capacity at most facilities and the plan will likely mean more holding space will be needed. Cost estimates to operate one temporary facility exceed $5 million per month, according to the source.

The DHS Southwest Border Mass Irregular Migration Contingency Plan tells senior leadership to prepare “federal to federal” support agreements to quickly move personnel and funds to DHS agencies.

The plan offers assumptions once Title 42 is ended and includes the acknowledgement that few legal pathways to removal are left in the wake of early executive actions under the Biden Administration.

The document offers ominous predictions about the impacts of the pending surge to the U.S.-Mexico Border. The DHS document claims most released migrants do not appear for subsequent removal proceedings. It continues:

Current pathways to removal will be limited. Component use of broadscale release mechanisms (i.e., Own Recognizance (OR) with issuance of a Notice to Appear (NTA), or parole and Alternatives to Detention (ATD)) with administrative tools are necessary to ensure humane and efficient treatment of migrants)

Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) will continue to leverage the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) to provide life sustaining food, shelter, and supporting services. In addition, NGOs shall provide travel assistance from CBP custody. (Footnote: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 made available $110 million to FEMA EFSP for this purpose.)

ICE Alternatives to Detention (ATD) will be implemented on a greater scale. (Footnote: Increased processing speeds, throughput, and the use of ATD is the quickest solution for processing FMUAs where Title 42 is no longer viable. However, relatively low percentages of FMUAs reported for removal proceedings in the past once released on ATD. There is no evidence that a higher percentage of noncitizens will report for removal proceedings in the future if released, regardless of how expeditiously they are processed.)

EU to send investigators to probe alleged war crimes in Ukraine

People behind these “heinous crimes” must not go unpunished, EU Commission head has said

EU to send investigators to probe alleged war crimes in Ukraine

The EU will send a team of investigators to Ukraine to probe alleged war crimes on the ground, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday, after holding phone talks with the country’s president Volodymyr Zelensky. The move comes after multiple dead civilians were found in Bucha, a suburb of the capital, over the weekend, with Kiev promptly attributing the killings to Russian troops.

“This afternoon I spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the dreadful murders that have been uncovered in Bucha and other areas from which Russian troops have recently left,” von der Leyen said in a statement.

The investigative team dispatched by the EU will not act as an independent entity but will assist Ukrainian authorities in collecting evidence on site, the official signaled.

“The EU has set up a Joint Investigation Team with Ukraine to collect evidence and investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity,” von der Leyen explained. “The EU is ready to reinforce this effort by sending investigation teams on the ground to support the Ukrainian Prosecution Services. Eurojust and Europol are ready to assist.”

The Bucha affair unfolded after multiple dead civilians were found in the suburban town northwest of the capital. Kiev without delay blamed Russian troops for the purported mass killing, with top Western officials backing its assessment and also accusing Moscow of war crimes. The latter, however, has vehemently denied any involvement in the killings, branding the whole Bucha affair a deliberately staged “provocation” to frame Russian troops.

Zelensky visited the site of the purported mass killing earlier in the day, vowing to punish those responsible, and reiterating Kiev’s allegations against Moscow.

“We want you to show the world what happened here. What the Russian military did. What the Russian Federation did in peaceful Ukraine. It was important for you to see that these were civilians,” Zelensky told a large group foreign reporters who accompanied him to the site.

Moscow launched a large-scale offensive against Ukraine in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements signed in 2014, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

Russia’s demand is that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military alliance. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it had been planning to retake the two rebel regions by force.

New York Mob Hitman Dominic Taddeo Caught In Florida a Week After Escaping Federal Custody

Orlando, FL – A Rochester, NY, mobster who escaped federal custody by walking away from a halfway house near Orlando was apprehended without incident by the U.S. Marshals Service from the Southern District of Florida and the Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force at approximately 11 a.m. today in Hialeah.

After Dominic Taddeo, 64, failed to return from a previously authorized medical appointment March 28 he was placed on escape status by the Bureau of Prisons.

Taddeo was transferred in February from a medium-security prison in Sumter County, Florida, to the halfway house and was scheduled to be there until his release in February 2023.

From 1990 to 1992 Taddeo was convicted of federal racketeering charges and pleaded guilty to multiple other cases involving weapons offenses, drugs, and enterprise corruption among other offenses which included the killing of three men on behalf of the La Cosa Nostra, a Rochester-area crime family.

Taddeo’s arrest is the result of a combined effort by the USMS Middle District of Florida, the Southern District of Florida, and the Florida Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force, checking multiple locations of interest for Taddeo within Florida before pursuing other leads throughout the rest of the country.

“The tenacious work of the involved deputy marshals and the cooperation between our offices resulted in the quick capture of Mr. Taddeo,“ said U.S. Marshal Bill Berger of the Middle District of Florida.

'Goodbye and thank you': Peter Gutwein announces he is stepping down as Tasmanian Premier and leaving parliament

Peter Gutwein has announced he is stepping down as Premier of Tasmania, with the Liberal Party set to elect a new leader later this week.

Tasmania is set to have a new Premier within days after Peter Gutwein announced he was resigning from the role and leaving parliament.

Mr Gutwein made the shock announcement on Monday, saying it was time to prioritise his family - wife Mandy, son Finn and daughter Millie.

"It has been an honour and privilege to serve as Tasmania's 46th Premier, however, the time is now right for me to move on and to attend to other things in my life," he said.

"The past two years have delivered unforeseen challenges, as we have navigated through COVID-19 and focused on rebuilding a stronger Tasmania.

"During this time I have quite rightly focused on everyone else's family and I now want to spend some time focusing on my own."

Mr Gutwein will remain as Premier until the Liberal Party elects a new leader later this week.

He will also resign from Bass, the electorate he has been a member of since 2002, ending his two-decade parliamentary career.

"Without doubt the greatest highlight for me as Premier has been the courage and compassion of Tasmanians. There is nowhere like this place in the world," Mr Gutwein said.

"And the examples of common humanity and kindness that I have witnessed over the last two years will stay with me for the rest of my life.

"I want to thank Tasmanians sincerely for their efforts, they have been fantastic."

Mr Gutwein became Premier in January 2020 following Will Hodgman's resignation from the top job.

"When I became Premier I said I wanted to lead a government of conviction, of compassion and one of opportunity and to ensure Tasmanians, no matter their background, their circumstance, that they would be able to grasp those opportunities," he said.

"And whilst there will always be challenges, to have one of the fastest growing economies in the country, along with record levels of employment and a budget that is in good shape as we come out of a worldwide pandemic… these are things I'm immensely proud of."

Mr Gutwein led the Liberal Party to a third successive victory at the May 2021 state election, which was held amid the pandemic that saw Tasmania implement border measures to limit the spread of the virus.

House committee advances contempt resolutions against Dan Scavino, Peter Navarro

The House has held Mark Meadows and Steve Bannon in contempt.

The House Rules Committee voted on Monday to advance the contempt resolutions against Trump White House aides Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro over the investigation of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The Jan. 6 committee last week voted unanimously to recommend Congress hold the men in criminal contempt.

The contempt resolutions now head to the House floor for a vote.

Navarro served as trade advisor to then-President Donald Trump while Scavino served as the former president's social media director. The committee accused them of refusing "to produce documents or appear for a deposition."

Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told the Rules Committee: "Mr. Scavino and Mr. Navarro have a legal obligation to comply with the congressional subpoenas issued by the Select Committee. Instead, they’re acting like they believe they are above the law."

The House has also held former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon in contempt for not complying with subpoenas from the Jan. 6 committee.
