[FoxNews] House Oversight, Judiciary, Ways and Means committees have led impeachment inquiry against Biden.
Yes, but without a majority in the Senate, House Republicans won’t be able to push it through. And next term when the new winners are sworn in, Joe Biden will no longer be in office, and will be dealing with more immediately existential concerns.
#3
Biden's open-border or no-such-thing-as-a-border policy is itself impeachable conduct. Feel free to add to the list. A bigger disgrace is that the Dems and their constituency think the policy is just peachy-keen.
#4
Biden is going to depend upon 'immunity' for official acts that the commies whined about that SCOTUS gave Trump. Now if they're not official, Biden should be treated like Trump has for the last four years.
#5
So what. The GOP is just as at fault as the Biden family. We have known this for decades, yet DC is silent. Now that Biden is a derelict old man with no real power, they want to go after him. Biden will have all the documents of his corruption leaked to distract us and so he can pardon his entire family. Piss off...

Even if Biden were impeached, he wouldn't be removed from office. It takes a 2/3 vote in the Senate to convict after impeachment.

[FoxNews] Trayon White Sr made news in 2018 for accusing Jewish financiers for 'climate manipulation'
The FBI arrested a Washington, D.C., city councilman on Sunday, though the circumstances surrounding the matter are not yet clear.
City Council President Phil Mendelson confirmed that fellow council member Trayon White Sr. was arrested on Sunday afternoon.
"I've talked to several people. I can confirm he was arrested around 2 o'clock by the FBI," Mendelson told a WTTG reporter. "I'm anxious to get more details to understand what is the situation. … You all know as much as I know."
Fox News has reached out to the FBI Washington field office, which declined to comment at this time.
White made national headlines in March 2018 when he suggested that Jewish financiers control the weather. The claim came as he filmed himself driving through downtown Washington in the snow and ranted about "climate manipulation."
"And D.C. keep talking about, ‘We’re a resilient city.’ And that’s a model based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disasters they can pay for to own the cities, man," he said in the now-deleted video. "Be careful."
The Rothschilds, a European Jewish banking family descended from Mayer Amschel Rothschild, have been the subject of antisemitic conspiracy theories for centuries, including that they control the world’s financial institutions and manipulate world events to their benefit.
White initially defended his comments, saying, "The video says what it says," but he later apologized to the Jewish community.
In addition to his comments about the Rothschilds, White also tweeted at prominent antisemitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in 2013 and said he was "honored" to share a birthday with Farrakhan, adding, "I must respect his intelligence, will, & boldness."

According to the DOJ, "White corruptly agreed to accept $156,000 in cash payments in exchange for using his position as a D.C. Councilmember to pressure government employees at Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE) and DYRS to extend several D.C. contracts."
The DOJ claims the alleged bribe led to a $5.2 million contract and "were for two companies to provide Violence Intervention services in D.C."
[ZH] Soros Stops Spending On Soft-On-Crime Prosecutors
In a post last year ("San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin Was The Tip Of The Iceberg"), after the recall of San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin, I noted that dozens of soft-on-crime prosecutors had been put in office by George Soros's money:
Americans who dislike rampant crime and the prosecutors who don't try to stop it scored a victory this week, with the successful recall election of George Soros backed San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. While Boudin may be unique in having been the only American prosecutor who was the son of two convicted felony murders, he unfortunately is not unique in having been backed by George Soros. A new paper by the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund claims that America has at least 75 prosecutors whose campaigns were either funded directly by George Soros's foundations, or indirectly via third parties that get most of their funding from Soros's foundations.
I also included the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund's paper there detailing how Soros helped finance a spike in crime.
Here is a bit of good news though: the Soros-backed, soft-on-crime Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon is headed for defeat in his upcoming re-election, thanks in part to Soros not financing his campaign this year.
As our friends at America 2100 detail in the thread below, even in blue cities, public opinion has turned against soft-on-crime prosecutors, and in response, Soros has stopped funding them.
Don't look behind the curtain.
[JustTheNews] A roster of Hollywood-types and musicians including Reese Witherspoon, Billy Porter, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, John Legend and more are scheduled to participate in events during convention week. Platforms and policy? Not so much.
The Creative Coalition non-profit group is reportedly hosting events during the week with a delegation that is expected to include Hollywood actresses and actors Uzo Aduba, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Chris Witaske, Yvette Nicole Brown, Anthony Anderson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Busy Philipps, Jon Cryer, David Cross, Yolonda Ross, Iain Armitage, and Danai Gurira.
The group is also expected to co-host an event with Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer in partnership with Reproductive Freedom for All, End Citizens United and Gabrielle Giffords’ gun safety organization, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The event will include musical performances by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Drive-By Truckers and SistaStrings.
Apparently more famous names have expressed interest in taking part in the convention in some way but the Harris campaign, according to gossip website TMZ, is reportedly being selective, quoting an unnamed source who allegedly said Harris is working hard to avoid the Chicago-based DNC being painted as a "Hollywood liberal elite" event.

Seems a good number of rappers who are closer to the 'street' are heading the other direction. Apparently, someone hasn't notice the significant decline in Hollyweird and its culture.
[JustTheNews] Minnesota awarded more than $2 million to a Muslim group that fundraises for an al Qaeda-linked charity under the tenure of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.).
The Islamic Association of North America (IANA) received state grants from 2019 to 2024, the Washington Examiner reported.
IANA fundraises for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity claiming to ship humanitarian aid to Gaza.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza said his charity is collaborating on an aid initiative with the Islamic Heritage Revival Society of Kuwait, a U.S.-designated terror group sanctioned for funding al Qaeda.
This latest revelation comes amid criticism of Walz over his links to Muslim cleric Asad Zaman, whom Walz repeatedly hosted as Minnesota's governor.
Zaman has defended the October 7 attacks and shared a pro-Hitler film on social media. Walz referred to Zaman in 2018 as a "master teacher" at a Muslim American Society of Minnesota event. The society partners with IANA.
[NYPOST] Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker insisted that the violent mostly peaceful history of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in the Windy City won't repeat itself this week — despite the thousands of protesters expected to wreak havoc at the venue.
Pritzker (D) on Sunday downplayed fears of demonstrations escalating at this week's convention, saying a lot has changed in the last half-century and that authorities are ready.
''The fact is, it's a whole different ballgame. Here we are 56 years later, we've got a very, very different situation in the Democratic Party,'' Pritzker told CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... 's ''State of the Union'' on Sunday.
''The Democratic Party, honestly, has coalesced around this candidate. That was not the case in 1968. Policing is all different now, and we've got technology at work,'' he added. ''The protesters are protesting something that is very far away from here — very important — but it's not about people getting drafted from here, going abroad.''

Per Chicago's ABC 7 channel, last weekends current casualties are 5 KIA, 25 WIA. "Whole different ballgame" means Chicago's population is far crazier and far better armed than in 1968.
There will be a lot of interesting amateur video being made there this coming week.
[NYPOST] Republican VP nominee JD Vance has said tasking Vice President Kamala Harris once a marijuana-busting Caliphornia DA with reining in inflation would be tantamount to putting notorious sex predator Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein ...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whoressex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He was really surprised when he commited suiciede in jail... in charge of anti-human trafficking — and accused the Democratic candidate of ''doubling down'' on the failed policies of the current administration.
Harris, 59, unveiled a suit of economic policies on Friday aimed at shoring up her standing with voters who blame the Biden-Harris administration for a spike in the cost of living.
''Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy, Shannon, it's like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy. The American people are much smarter than that,'' Vance, 40, told ''Fox News Sunday'' anchor Shannon Bream.
''They don't buy the idea that Kamala Harris represents a fresh start. She is more of the same. It is doubling down on the failed policies of the [current] administration,'' he added.

[NYPOST] Minouche Shafik's resignation as Columbia University's president reflects ''the left's broad refusal to confront'' its radical, anti-Israel ''insurgents,'' naively thinking the ''divide can be ignored, bridged or papered over,'' argues The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley A. Strassel.
Shafik ''tried to have it all ways,'' and ''Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... are pursuing the same strategy on a national scale,'' with Team Biden similarly pandering to protesters.
What Dems ''fail to appreciate is that this crowd won't be appeased by anything less than full capitulation,'' including an ''end to any support for Israel.''
The Coalition to March on the DNC (If you're white you ain't right!) ...Democrat National Committee, where all those off-the-wall talking points originate... is shipping busloads of protesters to reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... ; they threaten ''to become the overriding theme'' there. How will Harris respond? ''Equivocation won't look good.''

[NYPOST] ''Kamala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' former mistress 's vague, bare-bones plan to making housing more affordable'' would make ''housing prices go up,'' explains National Review's Jim Geraghty.
Just look ''at how the federal government has tackled the high cost of higher education'': Its ''approach to expensive tuition costs has been to underwrite and offer more and more loans and grants.''
The result: Colleges increased ''the cost of tuition at twice the rate of inflation.''
Harris' plan for ''a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers'' would push prices up, ''probably about $25,000 per home, because buyers have more money in their pocket.''
And her ''push for the ‘first-ever federal ban' on food price hikes . . . at best would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions.''

[NYPOST] ''Voters want to blame someone for high grocery bills'' and Kamala Harris It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day has chosen ''corporate greed'' by vowing to impose price controls, scoffs Catherine Rampell at The Washington Post.
''It's hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is. It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Far-off Washington babus bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk. At best, this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding.''
''If your opponent claims you're a ‘communist,' maybe don't start with an economic agenda that can (accurately) be labeled as federal price controls.''

The current high inflation rate has a lot to do with Covid-related causes (increased household demand and supply chain shortages due to the pandemic). Then there is the war in Ukraine and a strong labor market.
At the beginning of the pandemic, consumers started to spend less because of the lockdown and started to save more. Then, as the Covid-19 restrictions eased, businesses couldn't keep up with this increased consumer demand, and experienced shipping delays as well as shortages of labor and key inputs. All of this led to higher prices for most goods and services. Gasoline, housing, and food saw the largest price increases.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the resulting sanctions by Western countries that severely restricted imports of Russian oil played a significant role in rising energy prices and supply chain issues, as did fluctuating consumer demand for gasoline.
To blame "corporate greed" is more or less nonsense. But so is the exaggerated responsibility of the US administration for these global events.
Harris' policy is certainly wrong and just populist, but Trump should explain how HE would bring down inflation (it's already going down btw).

Hardly... Biden and the Democrats passed budgets after the pandemic as if the pandemic was still continuing. Had they cut back to pre-pandemic levels inflation would not be as bad. Additionally, Biden still has $1T to spend in the next 3 months.

[Yahoo] The state Bureau of Elections on Friday disqualified independent presidential candidate Cornel West from the Nov. 5 general election ballot over a technical violation of state law.
West was disqualified for failing to have his candidate affidavit properly notarized, which invalidated the required document. Challenges were filed with the Michigan Department of State office by veteran elections lawyer and former Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer, on behalf of Rosa Holliday, to the affidavits of identity submitted by West and Melina Abdullah on July 23.

Jill Stein will be on the Michigan ballot however…

Interesting that the Dems are using lawfare against the crazier elements of their own party. Afraid that Cornel can out lunatic Kamalah and draw votes away from the Chosen One?
