Just watching FoxNews. They are sooo bad, just like the Globalist Wall Street Journal and the now, way down, New York Post. They are desperately pushing DeSanctimonious who, regardless, is dropping like a rock. He’s even down 20 points in Florida, which was third worst in Covid, & where I got 1.2 million more votes than he did. RINO Mark Thiessen, a Bush flunky, is constantly on pushing DeSanctus, giving bad info. Even said I “lost Iowa last time around,”I won BIG. He sucks, & so does FoxNews!

Page 2: Fox News is way down in the Ratings. After firing Tucker Carlson and refusing to fight against a VERY Corrupt and Rigged 2020 Presidential Election, which just cost them plenty of money, prestige, and RATINGS, they are a far cry from what they used to be. FoxNews has become the DeSanctimonious Network, but it will never work because he doesn’t have the goods. Without my Endorsement, he was a dead man walking. Even with Fox, he’s already pretty close to that again!==

Biden, Obama, and the ‘Scandal-Free’ Years
We haven’t heard a whisper from Joe Biden’s old boss in months, and the reason for it is obvious.
Anyone seen Barack Obama lately? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
We here at The Patriot Post have hardly mentioned the guy’s name since just before the 2022 election, when he was doling out advice to his fellow Democrats, telling them not to be “buzzkills” and such.
We ask because we think he’s got some ‘splaining to do. “Scandal-free” Barack, you see, was the guy who selected Joe Biden to be his vice president — and then allowed the Big Guy to preside over an elaborate and lucrative influence-peddling operation right out of the White House. Just ask the Chinese. Or the Ukrainians. Or the Romanians.
Obama, of course, was also the same guy who shamelessly wrote in the most recent of his three — count 'em, three! — memoirs: “Without exception, we avoided scandal. I’d made clear at the start of my administration that I’d have zero-tolerance for ethical lapses, and people who had a problem with that didn’t join us in the first place.”
An aside about those three memoirs: In all, our 44th president has written more than 1,500 pages about His Excellence. If you’re keeping track, that’s 400 pages more than Tolstoy’s War and Peace. And the guy is clearly becoming more loquacious with age, as his most recent nod to narcissism, A Promised Land, which lists for $45.00 but can be had for a more properly priced $1.80 on Amazon, checks in at a boat-anchoring, narcolepsy-inducing 768 pages.
Our point is the guy loves to talk about himself. He always has. But he’s been strangely silent since it became clear that the first executive decision he made in his life was to select a corrupt and deceitful backslapper as his veep.
Last week, our Nate Jackson posed the beginning of an existential question: If a Biden Corruption Bombshell Drops in a Leftmedia Forest…
Well, what if? And the answer is, They’d focus on the dubious indictment of a GOP back-bencher named George Santos rather than the mountain of evidence that’s piling up against not only Hunter Biden but Joe Biden as well.
As Congressman James Comer said, Obama knew “what Joe Biden was doing the last year of his vice presidency,” but he chose to ignore it. “He knew his son [Hunter Biden] was no good, and he knew this was nothing but a political liability not just for our country, not just for the Democrat Party, but for Obama’s legacy.”
Indeed, where has the media been during all this? Why haven’t they beaten a path to Barack’s oceanfront home there on Martha’s Vineyard? Or his oceanfront home there in Hawaii? Why, it’s as if they’re afraid to ask him a simple question about his second-in-command: What did you know and when did you know it?
The answer is important, because unless he can somehow thread a needle of plausible deniability, Barack Obama will expose himself as either complicit in the corruption or utterly asleep at the switch. It’s one or the other.
Florida Republican Congressman Byron Donalds is practically begging the media to do its job: “You guys in the press, this is easy pickings. This is Pulitzer Prize stuff,” he implored.
Of course, The New York Times and The Washington Post are too busy admiring the Pulitzers they got for their holier-than-Swiss-cheese reporting on the Russia collusion hoax.
To this point, the Times’s recent and laughable headline, the one it pushed out in the wake of House Republicans’ efforts to lay out the influence-peddling case against the Biden Crime Family, is telling: “House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden.”
Why would the Times print something so gymnastically preposterous? Because its scribes know that to impugn Joe Biden is to impugn the presidency of Barack Obama. And to do that would cause a mutiny among the Obama-worshipping leftists in their newsroom.
It’s rich, isn’t it? Obama is the same guy who oversaw the greatest political corruption scandal in American history — the fake, phony, fraudulent “Russia collusion” hoax that allowed his administration to weaponize the Department of Justice and our nation’s intelligence services to spy on then-candidate Trump and continue to spy on him and his team after they’d taken office.
The same guy who sicced the IRS, DOJ, FBI, ATF, and OSHA on private American citizens, trampling on their rights for the sole purpose of intimidating and thereby suppressing his political opposition.
Yep, the same guy who was once caught on a hot mic whispering sweet nothings into then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s ear about how he’d be better able to compromise our national security and betray our NATO allies on missile defense as soon as he got through his 2012 reelection campaign. “This is my last election,” he quietly told Medvedev, stressing the importance of being able to look tough until after the American people had cast their ballots. “After my election, I have more flexibility.”
The same guy who had the nerve to call Donald Trump a “corrupt motherf***er.”
The same guy whose “scandal-free” administration we’ve called out again and again. And now, conveniently, the corruption cat has his tongue.
At the very least, some intrepid journalistic outlier needs to get Obama on the record about his vice president’s audacious influence-peddling operation, even if only to have him pull a predictable Sergeant Schultz: “I know nothing, nothing.”
Barack Obama knows something, though. And his silence is deafening.

John Durham releases final report concluding FBI had no verified intel when it opened probe on Trump
The FBI has long defended its conduct in probe, but Durham said his probe provided a "sobering" look at miscondict
Special Counsel John Durham released a damning final report Monday after more than three years investigating the Russia collusion probe, declaring the FBI had no verified intelligence or evidence when it opened up the Crossfire Hurricane probe of President Donald Trump's campaign in the summer of 2016.
"Neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation," Durham wrote in a 300-plus page report sent to Congress and others and obtained by Just the News. DOJ was slated to make the report public later Monday.
The prosecutor faulted the FBI and Justice Department for failing to follow their own standards and allowing a probe to persist, including the surveillance of an American citizen without basis under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
"Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we concluded the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," Durham wrote.
"The FBI personnel also repeatedly disregarded important requirements when they continued to seek renewals of that FISA surveillance while acknowledging both then and in hindsight that they did not genuinely believe there was probably cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of foreign power."
The report's release touched off instant outrage and impact on Capitol Hill, where House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan tweeted he planned to summon Durham for testimony next week.
Durham specifically faulted the FBI for relying on evidence from Hillary Clinton's campaign, including the Steele dossier, saying leadership lacked the necessary distrust of politically motivated allegations.
"Our investigation also revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities. This information in part triggered and sustained Crossfire Hurricane and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller's investigation," he wrote.
"In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them, even when at about the same time the Director of the FBI and others learned of significant and potentially contrary intelligence."

AMERICAN OVERSIGHT RECEIVES INDICATION THAT DURHAM INVESTIGATION HAS CLOSED
On Friday, the Department of Justice dropped a key objection to the release of more than 4,500 pages of documents related to the Durham investigation, the Trump-era inquiry into the origins of the FBI’s probe of the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. The DOJ had previously withheld the records claiming that their disclosure would interfere with an ongoing law enforcement investigation. Instead of filing an anticipated brief that would have defended the withholdings, the department withdrew its assertion of the “ongoing investigation” exemption — strongly suggesting that the Durham investigation has been closed.
The reversal was announced in a motion filed in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit American Oversight brought in August 2019 to compel the release of documents related to the Durham inquiry, including communications between Durham and senior Justice Department officials and any communications Durham or DOJ officials may have had with the Trump White House or Congress.
Statement from American Oversight Executive Director Heather Sawyer:
“The Durham investigation remains an alarming example of former President Trump’s weaponization of the Justice Department for his own political ends. Tasked with proving Trump’s allegations of a ‘deep state’ plot against him — and given nearly four years and millions of taxpayer dollars to do so — Durham found no wrongdoing. It’s long past time for the American people to see the full extent of the inquiry’s work and its influences and we look forward to the release of these records.”
American Oversight first requested the records in June 2019, after then Attorney General William Barr had instructed Durham to initiate the politicized investigation of the roots of the inquiry into potential ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 campaign. That original FBI inquiry ultimately led to the larger investigation headed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Lawyers for the Justice Department had previously argued the government could properly withhold more than 4,500 pages of records and one voicemail audio recording responsive to American Oversight’s requests under the FOIA exemption designed to protect ongoing investigations.
The New York Times reported in January that, after four years, the Durham inquiry was winding down “without uncovering anything like the deep state plot alleged by Mr. Trump and suspected by Mr. Barr.” Records previously obtained by American Oversight through the litigation revealed that Barr met frequently with Durham in the period directly after the Mueller investigation ended — 18 times in seven months — raising questions about potential political interference.

Part of Investigation:
John Durham’s Politicized Investigation — And William Barr’s Role in It
https://www.americanoversight.org/american-oversight-receives-indication-that-durham-investigation-has-closed
JOHN DURHAM’S POLITICIZED INVESTIGATION — AND WILLIAM BARR’S ROLE IN IT
Shortly after Mueller wrapped up his Russia investigation, the attorney general announced a new inquiry — one that would examine the origins of Mueller’s investigation and would be led by federal prosecutor John Durham. Both Barr’s previous criticism of Mueller’s probe as well as his problematic public comments since announcing the new inquiry have raised serious concerns about transparency, misconduct, and the political motivations behind Durham’s investigation.
Last updated: January 20, 2021
Even before he joined the Trump administration as attorney general, William Barr’s stance on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference was well-documented. In 2018, while a private citizen (who had also interviewed to be President Donald Trump’s personal attorney), Barr sent then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein a memo outlining his misgivings about the Mueller investigation. (According to documents obtained by American Oversight, Barr shared this memo with Rosenstein over text.)
When Mueller finished his investigation and issued a report detailing Russia’s efforts to aid Trump’s 2016 election chances, Barr wasted no time in submitting a distorted summary of Mueller’s findings and prompting the president to inaccurately declare that he had received “total exoneration.” A month later, Barr raised eyebrows when he stated during congressional testimony that “spying [on the Trump campaign] had occurred,” implying illegitimate actions on the part of the FBI. And a month after that, Barr announced that U.S. Attorney John Durham would be leading an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, which was criticized as a political effort to delegitimize Mueller’s findings.
American Oversight began looking into the Durham inquiry as part of our broader investigation into the politicization of the Justice Department. Our investigation has uncovered records showing multiple meetings between Barr and Durham around the time of the release of the Mueller report — including one just a day after Barr sent his summary to Congress. “The frequency of their face-to-face meetings during this critical time — while Mueller’s office wrapped up its work — raised questions for several former Justice Department lawyers,” wrote CNN in reporting on those records.
Additionally, the records obtained by American Oversight also reveal that Seth DuCharme, then a counselor to the attorney general, was also present at several of those meetings. DuCharme is now the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), in Brooklyn, having swapped places with Richard Donoghue. While at EDNY, an office that has been investigating multiple cases involving Trump associates, Donoghue had been tasked by Barr with overseeing all Ukraine-related investigations.
Meanwhile, Barr’s public comments about the progress of Durham’s inquiry not only fly in the face of Justice Department policy disfavoring such statements; they also make the agency’s justification for withholding documents from public release — that they are exempt from disclosure because they relate to an “ongoing investigation” — seem hypocritical and potentially political. Barr’s July 2020 refusal to commit to waiting until after the presidential election to release the findings of Durham’s probe further deepens the tinge of politicization.
American Oversight is continuing to investigate Durham’s probe and to fight for the release of documents that can provide more information on how Durham’s work was shaped. Below is a timeline of related records we’ve obtained along with public news reports.

April 24, 2020: The New York Times reported that Durham’s investigators were also looking into leaks to news media. The article also reported that Barr had recently said that Durham had uncovered “troubling” issues, and that Durham’s findings could be made public before the November election.

The president during Sunday bike ride touted decreased crossings
Border officials have seen 50% decrease since end of Title 42
Some migrants are being given court dates that are years away
Joe Biden cheered a drop in border crossings since the end of Title 42 with a swipe at the media – as new strains in the government's capacity to administer the surge of migrants is just beginning to come into view.
Asked over the weekend about how things were proceeding after the expiration of Title 42 authority, which ended at midnight Thursday, Biden told a group of reporters: 'Much better than you all expected,' with a chuckle.
He also spoke about the reduced number of crossings, which are down about 50 percent, as migrants – and smugglers who prey on their status – assess the new regulatory regime.
But while the border looks relatively clearer than in recent months, migrants are filling processing centers to capacity and being released into the streets with dates with immigration judges as far away was 2023.

Biden Finally Draws Larger Crowd Than Trump
EL PASO, TX — The mainstream media has been heaping praise on President Biden for finally drawing a larger crowd than former President Trump. According to reports, hundreds of thousands are gathering in El Paso and it's all because of President Biden.
"These are truly historic numbers we are seeing! Trump could never get this many people even at his biggest rallies," gushed CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. "This is an incredible moment for President Biden. He's clearly resonating with the American people well, the people, anyway and it's clear that his policies are making a real difference."
Upon seeing the massive crowds, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow added, "This just goes to show that people are hungry for real leadership and real strength. President Biden is clearly delivering on that front."
Many news sites praised the crowd for its youthfulness and diversity. "Just look at how young of a crowd Biden pulls!" exclaimed Anderson Cooper. "All those unaccompanied minors — I mean democrat voters and it's all thanks to Biden."
When asked for comment, even Trump had to admit that it was a "tremendous and unbelievably large crowd of people that — to be quite frank with you — I could never draw, believe me!"

Durham finds DOJ, FBI 'failed to uphold' mission of 'strict fidelity to the law' in Trump-Russia probe
Durham began investigating origins of Crossfire Hurricane in 2019
FIRST ON FOX: Special Counsel John Durham found that the Department of Justice and FBI "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" when it launched the Trump-Russia investigation.
Fox News Digital obtained Durham’s report Monday afternoon after his years-long investigation into the origins of the FBI’s original investigation, known as "Crossfire Hurricane." That investigation looked into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Durham gave his final report to the Justice Department, which released it Monday afternoon. The report spans more than 300 pages.
"Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the Department and the FBI failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," the report said.
Durham said his investigation also revealed that "senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically-affiliated persons and entities."
"This information in part triggered and sustained Crossfire Hurricane and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation," the report said. "In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents."
"The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them, even when at about the same time the Director of the FBI and others learned of significant and potentially contrary intelligence," the report said.
Durham is referring to past FBI leadership in his report – specifically former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Durham said there is a "continuing need for the FBI and the Department to recognize that lack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willigness to rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents caused investigators to fail to adequately consider alternative hypotheses and to act without appropriate objectivity or restraint in pursuing allegations of collusion or conspiracy between a U.S. political campaign and a foreign power."
"Although recognizing that in hindsight much is clearer, much of this also seems to have been clear at the time," Durham's report said. "We therefore believe it is important to examine past conduct to identify shortcomings and improve how the government carries out its most sensitive functions."
Special Counsel Robert Mueller completed his investigation into a possible Trump-Russia connection in April 2019, which yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 election.
Durham indicted three people as part of his investigation: former Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann in September 2021, Igor Danchenko in November 2021 and Kevin Clinesmith in August 2020.
Sussmann and Danchenko were found to be not guilty. Clinesmith pleaded guilty and served community service time.
The report said Clinesmith "committed a criminal offense by fabricating language in an email that was material to the FBI obtaining a FISA surveillance order."
"In other instances, FBI personnel working on that same FISA application displayed, at best, a cavalier attitude towards accuracy and completeness," it said.
"FBI personnel also repeatedly disregarded important requirements when they continued to seek renewals of that FISA surveillance while acknowledging – both then and in hindsight – that they did not genuinely believe there was probable cause to believe that the target was knowingly engaged in clandestine intelligence activities on behalf of a foreign power, or knowingly helping another person in such activities," the report continued. "And certain personnel disregarded significant exculpatory information that should have prompted investigative restraint and re-examination."
Durham's report "does not recommend any wholesale changes in the guidelines and policies that the Department and the FBI now have in place to ensure proper conduct and accountability in how counterintelligence activities are carried out."

JUST IN: DURHAM REPORT DROPS BOMBSHELLS
John Durham, the special counsel who has long been investigating the claims of “Russian collusion” that were aimed at President Donald Trump since he ran for president in 2016, has released a report that alleges the FBI and the DOJ seriously stumbled in their handling of the investigation years ago.
BREAKING: Special counsel John Durham concludes FBI never should have launched Trump-Russia probe, but no charges recommended – CNN
— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) May 15, 2023
According to a report from Fox News, Durham’s anticipated report dropped on Monday, after the special counsel has spent years investigating now-debunked claims that Trump somehow colluded with Russian entities in order to win the 2016 presidential election.
From Fox, via the report:
“This information in part triggered and sustained Crossfire Hurricane and contributed to the subsequent need for Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump’s political opponents.”
Further, the report noted that they “also considered as part of its investigation the government’s handling of certain intelligence that it received during the summer of 2016.”
The report continued, “That intelligence concerned purported ‘approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.’”
Journalist Greg Price included the following analysis on Twitter:

This is a developing story.

Google Co-Founder Larry Page Vanishes as Authorities Try to Subpoena Him in Jeffrey Epstein Investigation
The intrigue behind the shadowy sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein somehow continues to climax, despite his untimely “suicide” in a New York jail cell almost four years ago.
Via Daily Mail:
The US Virgin Islands is unable to subpoena Google co-founder Larry Page over potential ties to Jeffrey Epstein because he cannot be physically located, federal court filings reveal.
A motion filed by the attorney general for the US Virgin Islands said investigators tried to identify a physical address at which Page, 50, could be personally summoned to appear in a court.
After identifying four possible addresses, none of which were ‘valid’, prosecutors are requesting the federal government allow Page to be summoned via Alphabet, Google’s parent company, as he is still a member of its board.
It seems there are two potential explanations for Mr. Page’s disappearing act: either he himself doesn’t want to testify because of personal fears of what crimes it might implicate him in, or someone or something else doesn’t want Mr. Page discussing what he knows about Jeffrey Epstein’s activities.
I recently made a half-serious petition for Elon Musk to slap a Twitter “red check” on all known Jeffrey Epstein associates. When this ordeal is said and done, there might be a new Silicon Valley tech overlord to add to the list.
The subpoena efforts are part of the ongoing Virgin Islands prosecution of JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, implicating the highest level of multinational banking as potential accomplices in the years-long trafficking ring.
Via CNBC:
CEO Jamie Dimon in an interview Thursday said he was “so sad” the bank had any business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — but denied the firm is legally liable for the dead predator’s sex trafficking.
Dimon also said, in the televised interview with Bloomberg, that if JPMorgan had known everything that has become public in recent years about its former customer Epstein “we would have done things differently.”
What sad propaganda.
If anyone believes that a multinational banker like Jamie Dimon is psychologically capable of regret over facilitating immoral/illegal activities on behalf of his clientele, I have oceanfront property in Montana to sell you.
It’s not just Epstein; if there is a criminal enterprise with enough cash revenue to make it worthwhile, JPMorgan and peer-group banks jump at the chance to get involved.
“A cargo ship that was seized last month with nearly 20 tons of cocaine on board — with an estimated street value of $1.3 billion — belongs to JP Morgan Chase,” CBS News reported in 2019.

The Durham Report has dropped and the report concludes that the FBI never should have launched the Trump-Russia probe in the first place.The report EXONERATES Donald Trump once and for all.The American people were scammed by an FBI/DOJ that has been weaponized against conservatives.
There MUST be consequences.
