Ex-G-Man: ‘Overwhelming’ Evidence vs. Biden
“Democrats and their media cohorts” dismiss the House investigations as
“Republican conspiracy theories,” denying that any evidence proves
President Biden used his office to substantively help Hunter Biden,
observes ex-FBI agent Mark D. Ferbrache at the Daily Caller. The truth? A
“reliable FBI source” reported that Burisma’s CEO insisted he was forced
to pay the Bidens $10 million, and documents show “170 suspicious activity
reports” and 20 shell companies created to “obfuscate” the Biden family’s
receipt of foreign funds. Whistleblowers charge the Justice Department
with interference on behalf of the prez, and it’s also “clear” Joe Biden
“lied” about his conversations about Hunter’s business. None of this is “a
smoking gun,” but “the circumstantial evidence” against him is “becoming
‘overwhelming.’”

Legal take: The Big Hole in Trump Indictment
The government’s case against Donald Trump is “dangerous because it sets
up the federal government as the arbiter of truth,” argues law prof
Jonathan Turley at The Hill. “The government acknowledges that the
Constitution protects false statements made in campaigns, but it insists
that Trump must have known that his statements were false and therefore
was engaged in fraudulent statements to obstruct” the electoral results.
Yet the case falls apart “if Trump actually did (or does) believe that he
did not lose the election.” The indictment “essentially charges Trump with
not accepting the ‘truth,’ ” but there’s “no limiting principle to this
indictment.” If Trump is convicted, it would set a precedent in which “the
government would choose between which politicians are lying and which are
lying without cause.”

Econ watch: Recession Is ‘Around the Corner’
While Team Biden proclaims “a golden era of economic prosperity,” the
facts point toward a looming recession that “could be the largest in more
than half a century,” warns Justin Haskins at Newsweek. President Biden’s
“claims about job growth and unemployment are greatly exaggerated,” as
most gains “are due to the COVID-19 lockdowns ending.” Growing amounts of
economic data, especially housing data, point in “a troubling direction,”
with the possibility of “unprecedented drops in housing prices.” Who’s to
blame? Biden “has run up massive deficits and substantially increased
government spending, fueling inflation,” while the Federal Reserve
maintained low interest rates for far too long. “Available data” now “seem
to show that as a result, an economic downturn is right around the
corner.”

Eye on 2024: DeSantis’ Nerd Power
“Given DeSantis’s widely reported penchant for substantive discussions
over the small talk that retail politics calls for, it is surprising that
his campaign website does not feature a section devoted to his positions
on issues,” Jesse Arm remarks at City Journal. A Manhattan Institute poll
suggests “that aggressively prosecuting the war on wokeness is a good
strategy.” But while his “anti-woke crusade, shrewd technocratic
governance, and resistance to the federal bureaucracy’s Covid guidelines
formed the basis for DeSantis’s dominant midterm performance,” the
priorities for primary voters are “the economy, taxes, government
spending, and immigration.” Trump may have “already won the hearts of GOP
voters,” but his challengers’ best path “to securing the nomination is to
win their minds.”

Culture critic: Ignore Race in Politics, Like Sports
“America needs to look more like sports” and “less like the Democrat
vision of identity politics,” insists Clay Travis at Fox News. In sports,
“no scoreboard begins with diversity points added, [and] there aren’t
different rules for the game based on the races of the participants. You
either can or cannot make a play.” This is true of political candidates
too. Dems forget that “it’s not the race of the candidate that unites
people from diverse backgrounds, it’s the candidate.” If teams perfectly
reflected America’s “racial diversity,” they’d lose. Similarly, “identity
politics will eventually destroy the Democrat Party,” because Americans
“reject it.” “Democrats have lit themselves on fire with identity
politics. The worst thing Republicans can do is grab a fire extinguisher
and help them.”

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed

Trump's going to wish he was woke when the prison rapes and beatings start.
Old men don't fair well in that environment. The Rightist lose again.
