The report explained author Edward Dowd summarized, "We have a perfect puppet in the seat of the president right now. He can’t remember the lies handed to him and most of his supporters can’t remember what they ate for lunch. Memories of goldfish…of course no disrespect to goldfish."

Has the Secret Service Gone Insane?

Instapundit - ...called the incident a “medical matter,” adding that the agency wouldn’t be commenting further. A medical matter… that caused a physical fight between Secret Service agents? Wait, what?

JIM TREACHER: Has the Secret Service Gone Insane? 

As Treacher writes:

Look, man, if you want to let the president of the United States get assassinated because you were scared of being blackballed as a bigot, be my guest.

But you can’t make us turn a blind eye. We see you.

P.S. Okay, I was right: Herczeg used to be a cop in Dallas, and in 2016 she sued the department for $1 million over “gender bias.” And then she blackmailed her way into the Secret Service...

Election interferer!-----Disgraced former CBS News anchor Dan Rather returns to network after 18 years for interview | Fox News

Rather left CBS in 2006 after fallout from his discredited report disparaging then-President Bush's military service - Gabriel Hays Fox News 

"...Rather’s exit came after he reported on fake documents purportedly about Bush’s military career.

• Just ahead of the then-president’s re-election, the anchor ran a "60 Minutes" special citing forged memos disparaging Bush’s behavior while he served in the National Guard in the 1970s allegedly written by his commanding officer at the time.

Critics charged that these documents were forged as part of a naked attempt to make Bush look bad two months before the 2004 election...

Biden now threatening middle class with huge new tax hike | WND | by Bob Unruh

Biden now threatening middle class with huge new tax hike | WND | by Bob Unruh: 

Joe Biden is threatening Americans in the nation's middle class with a huge tax increase if he's re-elected.

It would happen through his decision, if in office, to make sure the tax adjustments that gave significant help to the nation's middle class under President Donald Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act expire – and "stay expired."

NPR’s Old CEO Was Accused Of ‘Racism’ For Asking Employees For ‘Civility’

National Public Radio’s (NPR) former CEO got accused of racism in 2023 for requesting “civility” from employees, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. - JASON COHEN

• Former NPR CEO John Lansing pushed employees to consider “civility” more during a question-and-answer forum regarding the outlet’s hip-hop podcast focused on black and queer issues called “Louder Than A Riot” lacking its own budget, the NYT reported. 
• When Lansing made the request after the podcast’s editor Soraya Shockley had pressed him about lack of funding for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), an employee at NPR wrote in the forum’s chat that the term “civility” is “racist” because it is frequently deployed against minorities...
• Shockley submitted a human resources complaint against Lansing following the session, suggesting the “civility” comments “dog-whistle racism,” an individual aware of the interaction told the NYT...

A Prosecution In Search of a Crime, Part 2 | Power Line -

The statute does not criminalize what Bragg claims Trump did — again, suppress politically damaging information. - JOHN HINDERAKER"...Andrew went into considerably more detail. He writes:

...In point of fact, there is no such information-suppression conspiracy crime in the law and the indictment against Trump does not charge a conspiracy — it charges 34 counts of falsifying business records with fraudulent intent to commit or conceal another crime.

...The statute does not criminalize what Bragg claims Trump did — again, suppress politically damaging information. The invocation of it still calls for Bragg to enforce federal election law, which he has no jurisdiction to do. It is plainly intended for state elections because Congress enacted federal campaign law — which is not Bragg’s remit — to control federal elections. And, cherry on top, the election law Bragg invokes is a misdemeanor — that is, Bragg is trying to exacerbate a single misdemeanor falsification of business records into 34 felony counts by rationalizing that Trump was trying to commit or conceal another misdemeanor...

Yes. They hate us THAT much!-----Democrats Want Donald Trump ‘Killed,’ Alan Dershowitz Warns

A Harvard Law professor suggested that Democrat officials want former President Donald Trump to get killed in prison with a new bill. - Jack Phillips

"Retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz suggested that Democrat officials want former President Donald Trump to get killed by taking away his Secret Service protection.

• Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) introduced legislation last week that would remove Secret Service protection for people who are convicted of felony or state crimes. The lawmaker mentioned that a “former president” could be an individual whose protection would be terminated if he’s found guilty in four cases.

But Mr. Dershowitz, a former constitutional law professor and criminal defense lawyer, asserted in an interview with Newsmax over the weekend that Mr. Thompson’s legislation is “ridiculous” and “means they want him killed because he’s obviously a target.”...

Watch: AOC Sends Signal to College Protesters, Within Hours Mob Forces Columbia to Take Drastic Action

Watch: AOC Sends Signal to College Protesters, Within Hours Mob Forces Columbia to Take Drastic Action: 

We’ve seen this before. Not just in Germany, but for centuries, almost as long as there have been Hebrews on God’s Earth.

Now New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has chimed in on the campus rallies against Israel. So has a fellow Democrat, Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman.

Since Ocasio-Cortez always seems to be on the wrong side of history, she, of course, favors the pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

Electric cars are a Trojan horse for the destruction of driving

Electric cars are a Trojan horse for the destruction of driving - Ross Clark

"...Since January this year, UK major car manufacturers have been under an obligation to ensure that at least 22 per cent of the new vehicles they sell are pure electric. 

• If they fail, then for every non-electric car they sell they could be fined £15,000. 
• The 22 per cent proportion will then rise every year until it reaches 80 per cent in 2030.

...The only real option car-makers will have is to stop us buying petrol or diesel cars by withdrawing them from the market – as Ford has already done with the Fiesta. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if some car-makers chose to give up on the UK market altogether...
Unfortunately, the push to electric may drive them off the roads.

Colorado Turns Schools into Welfare Agencies as Thousands of Needy Migrant Children Enroll

Colorado Turns Schools into Welfare Agencies as Thousands of Needy Migrant Children Enroll: 

Denver and other Colorado communities have transformed schools into welfare agencies as tens of thousands of children of illegal border crossers flood into the state’s schools, where they get free food, clothing, shoes, healthcare, and education at taxpayers’ expense.

The Washington Post reported the transformation of the Centennial State’s schools from educational facilities to full-on welfare agencies where kids of all ages — many of whom have never gone to school in their entire lives — are enrolled by the thousands.

Docs show Biden collusion with prosecutors over Mar-a-Lago raid | WND | by Bob Unruh: 

The report explained that Smith "wanted to hide the fact that the National Archives had several conversations with the Biden White House." Presidents keeping papers from their presidential years is not uncommon. In fact, even vice presidents do it, documented by Biden's stashes of classified documents in his home, office and even boxes in his unsecured garage. Further, Trump Vice President Mike Pence also was found to have had such documents, but no charges were filed.
