Fetterman Takes Shot at Rand Paul and Throws Tantrum on Camera:
By Victor Winston,
updated on February 14, 2024
Tensions flared in the Senate as a key spending bill hit a major roadblock.
Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania publicly voiced his displeasure over Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky's filibuster, which significantly delayed a critical spending bill mainly intended to support Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia.
Senator Fetterman expressed his frustration in a brief encounter with a CNN reporter, commenting on the impact of Senator Paul's filibuster on the Senate's schedule and the progress of legislation. It's not just about delayed agendas but the message it sends regarding senatorial responsibilities and priorities.
Senator Rand Paul's filibuster is a strategic move within the Senate's rules, designed to draw attention to his standpoint on allocating funds. This protest against the spending bill highlights the divide in opinions on how American resources should be utilized abroad.
The Debate Over American Interests
The Senate eventually approved a $95 billion foreign aid package, with a considerable portion, $60.1 billion, dedicated specifically to Ukraine. This substantial allocation has ignited a debate about prioritizing American interests and the essence of representation in governance.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the House's refusal to pass any foreign-aid bill that does not include provisions for meaningful U.S. border security. This stance further complicates the intricate situation, intertwining domestic policy priorities with international aid considerations.
Democratic Senator John Fetterman remarked:
We’re only here because of just one pri*k. And he decides that the rest of all of our schedules and our lives and — and holding up this bill to the — getting to the House — for all of this aid — it’s incredibly frustrating. And there’s no work being done. It’s just bad performance art.
Filibuster as a Tactical Delay
According to The American Conservative, Senator Rand Paul stated:
The reason for the talking filibuster is not that we’re going to win. They have the votes to win. We’re causing them to ultimately expend seven days. We’ve made them be here on the weekend if they want to take our money and ship it to another country. The punishment we can inflict is we keep them here on the weekend; we keep them from campaigning; we keep them from fundraising.
This filibuster and the ensuing deliberations cast a shadow over the broader discussion regarding the proper role of U.S. aid and the representational duties of elected officials. A hypothetical scenario raised in the discourse suggests that if 100 random Americans were asked, they might be unlikely to support sending $60.1 billion to Ukraine, questioning the alignment of legislative actions with the public's will.
In conclusion, Senator Rand Paul's filibuster delayed legislative action on a significant aid package for Ukraine and brought to light deep-seated concerns about governance, representation, and the prioritization of American interests.
Senator John Fetterman's frustration symbolizes the broader tension within American politics over how best to navigate the delicate balance between domestic needs and international responsibilities. The outcome of this debate could shape U.S. foreign policy and legislative processes for years to come.

Lara Trump Running for Vice Chair Of RNC
By Robert Cunningham,
updated on February 13, 2024
An old captain charts a familiar course in turbulent American politics.
Former President Donald Trump has announced his choices for key Republican National Committee leadership positions.
Trump's Strategic Endorsements Aim to Shape RNC
The political landscape is shifting as former President Donald Trump asserts his preferences for the leadership of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Amidst the brewing storm of the 2024 presidential election, Trump has positioned trusted allies to steer the RNC, advocating for Michael Whatley as chairman, Lara Trump for vice chair, and Chris LaCivita as Chief Operating Officer. This move is seen as a calculated effort to solidify his grip on the party infrastructure.
Trump's endorsements are not without contention, signaling a potential overhaul in the RNC's strategic direction. His support for Whatley, who has echoed Trump's claims of voter fraud in the 2020 elections, exemplifies his focus on election integrity - a cornerstone of his platform. The Democratic National Committee has been quick to criticize, branding Whatley as an "extreme election denier" in a recent statement.
Whatley's background as North Carolina GOP chair and RNC general counsel, coupled with his experience in Republican administrations and campaigns, presents him as a seasoned choice for Trump's vision. His proposed takeover from Ronna McDaniel, the current RNC chair, would occur after the South Carolina Republican presidential primary, marking a significant shift in party leadership.
Trump's Influence Grows with Loyalists in Key Positions
The endorsements reflect Trump's larger mission to prepare the RNC for a victorious 2024, emphasizing the importance of fair elections and proactive campaigning. Lara Trump, lauded by the former president as "an extremely talented communicator" and a dedicated proponent of the MAGA philosophy, is poised to become vice chair. Meanwhile, Chris LaCivita is expected to bring operational expertise to the RNC, transforming it into what Trump envisions as a "fighting machine" for the upcoming election.
The strategic changes come when the RNC faces financial scrutiny, with a significant decrease in cash on hand compared to their Democratic counterparts, despite a recent uptick in fundraising efforts. Trump has also expressed dissatisfaction with the RNC's decision to host GOP presidential primary debates, a forum he has chosen to skip, further revealing his desire for direct control over the party's electoral narrative.
Despite the proposed reshuffle, an RNC spokesperson stated that McDaniel continues to work towards Republican victories, and there are no immediate plans for leadership changes. McDaniel herself has hinted that this term could be her last amidst internal criticism and concerns about the RNC's financial health.
RNC Financial Health and Internal Criticism
The RNC's financial situation is under intense scrutiny, with concerns that the committee's waning resources could impede future Republican campaigns. Simultaneously, McDaniel's leadership has attracted criticism within the party, particularly in light of losses in recent election cycles. Trump's dissatisfaction is shared by others, including Nikki Haley's presidential campaign, which has condemned the RNC's current trajectory and called for a complete overhaul under Haley's leadership.
Notably, Trump and McDaniel have met at Mar-a-Lago, signaling that changes at the RNC may be forthcoming. This meeting, coupled with the endorsements, hints at a new dawn for the RNC under Trump's influence. Should Trump continue to garner support through primary victories, the RNC is expected to align itself more closely with his leadership preferences.
Former President Donald Trump stated:
Michael has been with me from the beginning, has done a great job in his home state of North Carolina, and is committed to election integrity, which we must have to keep fraud out of our elections, so it can’t be stolen.
The Pursuit of a Unified GOP Vision for 2024
Trump's recent endorsements for RNC leadership positions are a clear attempt to consolidate his influence within the Republican Party as he gears up for the 2024 presidential race. His backing of Whatley, Lara Trump, and LaCivita showcases his commitment to aligning the party with his vision of staunch election integrity and MAGA principles.
The Democratic National Committee has condemned these moves, while internal voices within the GOP, like Nikki Haley's campaign, call for a different path forward.
The RNC spokesperson maintains that no immediate changes are planned, but pressure mounts as Trump's influence grows. The future of the RNC hangs in the balance as the party decides which direction to sail in preparation for the next presidential election.

Warning from House Intel...
Is about Russia’s Space Power:
The intelligence is related to Moscow’s weaponization of its orbital systems, one of those informed about its content said.
By ERIN BANCO,
and LEE HUDSON
02/14/2024
A vague warning by the chair of the House Intelligence Committee about a “serious national security threat” Wednesday is related to Russia and space, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The U.S. has been concerned about Russia’s advancement in space for years. While the people did not provide much in terms of details, one of them said the intelligence is related to Moscow’s weaponization of its orbital systems.
In his statement Wednesday morning, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said his committee had made available the information about the national security threat and called on the administration to declassify the intelligence so officials and lawmakers could discuss the matter with allies.
It is not clear what prompted Turner to issue the statement now, as the intelligence has been available to leaders of the House intelligence committee and their top aides in a secure room on Capitol Hill for more than a week, one of the people said. House intelligence committee members on Tuesday voted to open the intelligence up for viewing for all members. The Senate now has access as well.
It’s possible Turner was attempting to raise alarms about Russia’s advancements in space as a way of underscoring the need for lawmakers to approve additional aid to Ukraine. The Senate passed the supplemental bill including $60 billion in aid for Kyiv. It is currently under review by the House.
There are varying issues that the administration has viewed as concerning in regard to Russia’s activities in space, including certain developments with its satellites and its jamming of U.S. satellites. One House intelligence committee member said the intelligence was “disturbing.” Another said “it’s a serious issue but not an immediate crisis.” Both members and the people familiar with the intelligence were granted anonymity to speak about classified materials.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said he was “surprised” Turner went public with his warning, telling White House reporters he previously reached out to the “Gang of Eight” top congressional leaders to hold a classified discussion. Sullivan didn’t confirm that the requested meeting, which will include Turner, was about the same matter: “I’ll leave it to you to draw whatever connections you want.”
Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), a HPSCI member, said in a statement that he expects the Biden administration to make the right call on declassifying intelligence. “They have used it more frequently and strategically than any other administration. And will make the decision about whether it’s important and wise to do so in this instance. It’s a serious issue but not a crisis,” he said.
It’s unclear exactly what capability Russia has developed that has concerned officials and lawmakers.
One possibility is Russia’s 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missile that can fly at speeds between Mach 6 and Mach 8 and is designed to strike land and naval targets.
The hypersonic missile, built by NPO Mashinostroyeniya, entered service last year aboard a Russian frigate, the Admiral Golovko.
Russia began ramping up its hypersonic weapon development in response to the U.S. withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
U.S. officials have also raised the alarm in recent years about missiles launched from Earth’s surface that can destroy satellites in orbit. In 2021, Russia conducted an anti-satellite missile test on one of its own satellites, breaking it up into more than 1,500 pieces of debris — which can pose a serious threat to other objects in orbit.
The prospect of Russia developing concerning capabilities relating to space comes amid strengthening ties between Moscow and Pyongyang. In December, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised to launch three military spy satellites in 2024. Three months earlier, Kim met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny spaceport, Russia’s most important launch center, to discuss how the countries can cooperate in space.

Alberta rejects Trudeau's 'unconstitutional' oil and gas emissions cap - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)
CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) — Alberta has officially rejected the Liberal government’s oil and gas emission cap, saying it would cripple Canada’s economy.
On February 5, Alberta Minister of Environment and Protected Areas Minister Rebecca Schulz published an open letter to Liberal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, warning him that Alberta will not be enforcing the proposed oil and gas regulations.
“This cap is not realistic or effective, will not achieve its grandiose emissions targets, and will not be tolerated in Alberta,” said Schulz.
“Albertans will not accept this cap or the attack on its constitutional jurisdiction, economy, and citizens that the cap represents,” Alberta wrote in a 24-page response accompanying Schulz’s letter.
The Liberal government’s Regulatory Framework to Cap Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions draft, published in December, aims to severely limit gas and oil emissions by 2030 to make a net-zero goal by 2050 possible.
However, Alberta pointed out that the proposed regulations are unconstitutional, unrealistic, would prove detrimental to Canada’s economy, and would not necessarily reduce emissions worldwide.
“[The cap] clearly violates Section 92A of the Constitution Act, 1867,” the Alberta government said, referring to a provision in the Constitution protecting provincial jurisdiction over natural resources.
Alberta further revealed that the projected targets are based on outdated data from 2019 and are not realistic given Alberta’s oil and gas production.

Kamala Harris ready to take over for Joe Biden according to bombshell interview:
We knew Biden was in dire straits. But his decline has been a complete free-fall.
And now Kamala Harris is ready to take over for Joe Biden according to a bombshell interview.
In a recent interview published this week, Vice President Kamala Harris stated that as doubts emerge about President Joe Biden’s capacity to continue serving as commander-in-chief due to concerns about his mental competence, she is prepared to step up and be president.
The remarks from Harris come after Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded in his criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified material that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” but no criminal charges were warranted.
It later added that prosecutors “also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury…as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
According to the study, Biden was unable to recall basic facts about important events in his life, including his time as vice president in the Obama administration, and he was unable to recall within a few years when his son died, despite the fact that he frequently discussed his son’s passing.
Biden then convened a news conference to establish his mental fitness for president, during which he yelled at reporters and forgot some important information.
The report and subsequent press conference sounded alarms among prominent Democrats who are privately worried about Biden’s electability, as a recent poll indicated that 86% of Americans believe he is too old to be president again, and 76% are concerned about his mental capacity.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Harris was asked if voters’ concerns about Biden’s age and mental competence meant she needed to persuade them that she was prepared to take over.
“I am ready to serve. There’s no question about that,” Harris responded.
She asserted that everyone who sees her at work “walks away fully aware of my capacity to lead.”
Jennifer Palmieri, who worked in the Obama and Clinton administrations, as well as Hillary Clinton’s unsuccessful 2016 campaign, told the Journal that Hur’s report has highlighted Harris’ ability to serve, as she may be required sooner rather than later.
“There was always going to be a lot of scrutiny and pressure on her in the 2024 campaign, and that moment’s here now,” she said.
“I think that the special counsel’s report has sort of accelerated that moment.”
According to a recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, if Biden decides not to run again, Harris will be the top pick among Democrat voters, with 15%. Following Harris, 8% voted for Hillary Clinton, 7% for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), 7% for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), 5% for California Governor Gavin Newsom, and so on.
Last year, an NBC News poll found Harris to be the lowest-rated vice president in the survey’s history, with a score of -17. Other vice presidents who received ratings included Dick Cheney (+23), Al Gore (+15), Biden (+1), and Pence (-4).

Nikki Haley made an unhinged statement that has Trump furious:
https://thefederalistwire.com/nikki-haley-made-an-unhinged-statement-that-has-trump-furious/ The two Republicans have had enough of each other. But only one will be victorious in securing the party’s nomination for president. And Nikki Haley made an unhinged statement that has Trump furious.
The two Republicans have had enough of each other. But only one will be victorious in securing the party’s nomination for president.
And Nikki Haley made an unhinged statement that has Trump furious.
Former President Donald Trump has been victorious in every one of the Republican caucuses and primaries that have taken place so far.
He’s easily beaten fellow GOP candidate Nikki Haley while securing these wins.
But Haley still thinks there’s a path forward to victory over Trump.
While speaking with host Jake Tapper on CNN’s “The Lead” on Monday, Haley was adamant that she will indeed defeat the former president.
“So obviously you’re running in South Carolina and you’ve told me that you plan to be around well obviously you want to be the nominee and then the president, but, but you’re going to be around at least until Super Tuesday,” Tapper said to Haley.
“If the unthinkable happens in your view and you do not win will it be difficult to support Trump as the Republican Party’s nominee, given what you think about him quite obviously.”
“Well, first, I think that you need to know that I am going to beat President Trump. But you should ask him if it’ll be difficult for him to support me,” Haley answered.
“He didn’t sign the GOP pledge in 2016. I don’t think and he certainly not signing it now. So I am I’m sure he would say no. But I guess you’re not going to commit to voting for him if he becomes the nominee?” Tapper said while continuing to press Haley on the topic.
“What I’m saying is what I said from the very beginning when there were 14 candidates on the stage, that any one of the 14 would be better than Joe Biden.”
Haley’s non-answer is due to her thinking she still has a legitimate shot at winning the Republican nomination this year.
But polls suggest otherwise.
According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll among likely Republican voters, Trump leads Nikki Haley in her home state of South Carolina – where she once served as governor – by 25%.
And according to a FiveThirtyEight national average, Trump has a commanding 75.8% to 17.6% lead over Haley in the GOP primary.
Sure, it’s admirable to continue fighting hard for a victory, but that victory looks highly unlikely at this point.
Instead of gracefully dropping out and unifying behind Trump as he seeks to defeat President Joe Biden this November, Haley is dividing the party more and more the longer she stays in the race.
An embarrassing defeat in South Carolina might have her rethinking her decision to continue on.
But we’ll have to wait to see how she officially does when the Palmetto State votes on February 24.

Republican Congressman reveals Scandalous Details involving White House Doctor:
The Biden White House are experts at cover-ups at this point. It’s basically their full-time job.
And a Republican congressman reveals scandalous details involving the White House doctor.
President Joe Biden’s cognitive ability has been questioned for several years now.
The 81-year-old president often times struggles with remembering names of world leaders as well as events from his own life.
Not only that, but he struggles to get through speeches without committing a multitude of gaffes.
While appearing on “Breitbart News Daily” and discussing Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report regarding Biden keeping ahold of classified documents after his vice presidency, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) got down to specifics about the report finding that Biden has some issues with his cognitive ability.
Jackson, who was previously a doctor in the White House for Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, added that the current White House doctor isn’t someone who can be trusted.
“I know this guy really well. He worked for me for eight years, and he is basically part of the Biden family,” Jackson said.
“And it doesn’t matter what happens. He’s going to cover up anything that’s going on.”
“He’s not – he’s not to be trusted. So it’s unfortunate, but he’s not going to be the answer. He’s not going to give us any insight.”
Jackson also added that Biden’s White House doctor has “not been honest with this.”
Anyone with a functioning brain can see that President Biden suffers from some clear cognitive decline.
But as Rep. Jackson continues to explain, the White House wants everyone to see Biden as someone who’s healthy and able to perform the duties of commander-in-chief.
“You know, he’s done a couple of quote physicals where he’s released a – you know, a short written statement about how healthy Biden is,” Jackson continued.
“I had to do a full physical exam and stand up before the press for over an hour and defend every single aspect of that physical exam, from hostile reporters and hostile medical folks in the audience. And he hasn’t been subjected to that because this is this the Democrat president and this is Joe Biden. We’re not gonna get any answers there.”
The hosts of Breitbart News Daily then asked the Texas congressman about his thoughts on Donald Trump’s health since he is only four years younger than Biden.
“You watch him. You know, Biden is the one that’s been saying for a long time you want to know about my cognitive health, watch me. And we’re watching him, and we’re terrified,” Jackson explained.
“You do the same thing with President Trump. Watch him. This man can walk up, you know, completely unprompted and to have a whole gaggle of reporters and stand there and answer questions for them for hours – for hours with no note, no teleprompter, no preparation whatsoever and just be completely on – on topic and on target.”
Why is it not surprising at all that Biden’s doctor is working to cover up the president’s true condition regarding his health?

Despite a prominent government sub-agency (underneath the Department of Homeland Security) labeling the 2020 election as the most secure election in American history, a new study has just been published which found that the massive expansion of mail-in voting—as well as the resultant fraud—almost certainly changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
Specifically, this was a study commissioned by the Heartland Institute titled: “Who really won the 2020 election? Measuring the effect of mail-in ballot fraud in the Trump-Biden race for the White House.”

VINDICATION:
Study finds Trump “almost certainly” won 2020 election, but mail-in ballot fraud resulted in Biden “winning” instead:
Had there not been massive voter fraud, i.e., fraudulent mail-in ballots, in the 2020 election, Donald Trump "almost certainly" would have won, a new study has found.
The Heartland Institute put together the report, which gauged the probable impact of voter fraud on the 2020 election results. Based on data collected from a Heartland / Rasmussen survey conducted in December, roughly one-in-five, or 20 percent, of mail-in voters admitted to potentially fraudulent activity in the election.
Further analyses led the research team to determine that mail-in ballot fraud did, in fact, "significantly" impact the 2020 presidential election, just as many said was the case.
Mail-in ballots are a new thing that conveniently came about during the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) "pandemic, constituting more than 43 percent of votes cast in 2020. It was often allowed with any legislative approval, meaning it was, in many cases, illegal to begin with.
"Had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected," the report's authors wrote.
(Related: There are no longer free and fair elections in the United States.)
2024's "biggest story," Trump says
Based on what was uncovered, nearly 30 percent of poll respondents in the December survey basically fessed up to committing some type of behavior that is "under most circumstances, illegal," which amounts to voter fraud.
"This means that more than one-in-four ballots cast by mail in 2020 were likely cast fraudulently, and thus should not have been counted," the researchers wrote.
The findings are so massive, according to Trump, that they should be dubbed "the biggest story of the year."
Had this fraud not occurred, Trump likely would have won in six of the nation's most important swing states where officially he lost.
"Then they calculated the electoral results in the six states under the different scenarios, each with a lower assumed percentage of fraudulent ballots, ranging from 28.2 percent all the way down to 1 percent," one media report explains.
"For each of the 29 scenarios that they assess, the researchers calculated the estimated number of fraudulent ballots, which were then subtracted from overall 2020 vote totals to generate a new estimate for vote totals ... Overall, of the 29 different scenarios presented in the study, the researchers concluded that President Trump would have won the 2020 election in all but three."
The only scenario in which Biden could have legitimately won the 2020 election is if mail-in ballot fraud was between one and three percent of ballots cast, which we know was not the case.
"Mail-in ballot fraud rates higher than 3 percent would, according to the study, mean more fraudulent Biden votes that should be subtracted from the total, putting President Trump ahead," reports indicate.
"For example, the adjustment to the vote tallies under fraud percentage rates between 13 and 6 percent would mean President Trump would have won Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, though he would have still lost in Michigan and Nevada ... Under such a scenario, President Trump would have won 289 Electoral College votes compared to candidate Biden's 249."
The paper's authors say they have no reason to believe that their survey overstated voter fraud by more than 25 percentage points. Thus, the only conclusion is that mail-in ballot fraud "significantly impacted the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden."
"Everyone already knows this," wrote a commenter on a news story covering the new study.
"You'd be surprised at how many 'mathematically inclined' people refuse to believe it or won't listen to it," responded another.

Supreme Court Puts Jack Smith on the Clock in Immunity Case
By Jerry McConway,
updated on February 14, 2024
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has been put on the clock by the Supreme Court.
He now has one week to respond to the request by the Trump legal team regarding staying the decision of the lower court regarding Trump’s presidential immunity.
Talking Points…
- Trump asks the Supreme Court to intervene
- Smith on the clock
- Analysis
Trump Asks for Supreme Court Stay
Donald Trump has not had much luck in having the courts rule in his favor for presidential immunity in the J6 case. In fact, after yet another loss, Trump has now filed a motion with the Supreme Court to stay the ruling issued by the lower court until the whole process plays out, which would slam the brakes on Smith’s case being able to proceed for months.
This trial was initially scheduled to be held on March 4, but Judge Chutkan put the entire case on hold once Trump appealed the immunity defense. This fell right into Trump’s hands regarding wanting to delay all of these federal cases until after the general election so they would not impact the election.
“Allowing President Trump to pursue en banc review in the D.C. Circuit will provide an opportunity for similar thoughtful consideration in the lower court before this Court addresses the novel, complex, and momentous issues at stake in this appeal.”
Smith on the Clock
On Monday, Trump’s legal team filed the emergency motion, and on Tuesday, the Supreme Court gave Jack Smith until February 20 to respond. Smith wants to push this case forward as quickly as possible, so seeing him respond far quicker than the deadline would not be surprising.
When the week deadline was given, some of Trump’s detractors already started to point to the longer deadline as being a favor to Trump, in essence accusing the court of doing Trump a favor with the delayed deadline.
For instance, The Hill reported that a recent case between an affirmative action group and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point was only given a four-day window to complete the response. The report also outlined a Michigan gerrymandering case that was given six days to respond.
Analysis
There is a very good reason that Trump wants this decision delayed as long as possible. While the ruling has not been made, virtually every federal case he has can be put on hold. However, once the court issues its decision, the issue is settled.
From my perspective, I do not believe that Donald Trump is going to win this case. I say this mostly because of comments and previous decisions issued by the court. There is definitely an argument to be made that Trump was looking out for election integrity, but the way he went about it will be very tough to prove that he was acting as the president at the time and not a jilted candidate and private citizen.
Had Trump done this through the DOJ and challenged the election in the courts rather than holding a rally, it would have been the act of a president. Holding the rally was more of a campaign-style event. The court has been very clear that no president has absolute immunity for any act committed while in office if that act is deemed to have not been in the official role as president, and Trump surely knows this, hence the constant delays. I believe he knows he will lose this ruling, so he wants to put it off as long as possible to push these cases back until he is assured that a verdict will not be reached until after the general election has taken place.

Laura Ingraham: Biden Campaign Taking Over Biden White House
By Jerry McConway,
updated on February 13, 2024
The special counsel report released last week was devastating for the Biden administration.
Joe Biden was portrayed as someone who was not mentally fit to stand trial, let alone run the White House, which is what Laura Ingraham addressed on "The Ingraham Angle."
Talking Points…
- Special Counsel report details
- Laura Ingraham says campaign taking over White House
- Analysis
Devastating Special Counsel Report
As most of you know by now, the report on Biden's handling of classified documents was, public relations speaking, more devastating than an indictment against Biden. If that happened, he could have pushed back, but being told that he was not mentally fit to stand trial because he would be perceived as an elderly man with a bad memory is devasting, considering that is the exact narrative that Donald Trump and Republicans have been pushing against Biden.
The Biden campaign, which Jill Biden seems to be taking over, is now trying to push back against the report, calling it a political attack. In addition, it has been forced to change its messaging. For instance, during the Super Bowl, instead of Biden doing the traditional interview, the White House released a video ad of Joe Biden attacking businesses for shrinking product packaging.
Laura Ingraham Says Campaign Taking Over White House
Joe Biden has been hammering Bidenomics, but the American people are just not buying the idea they are better off today than they were under Donald Trump. So, the administration has started to look to place the blame elsewhere, as noted above.
Laura Ingraham addressed this during a recent segment, stating:
"Now, for many months, the president has been frustrated that he's not getting credit for the great economy because they can't admit their massive spending drove the high prices that caused inflation. The Biden campaign decided it would help if they used other words instead. Take out the 'in; and add 'greed' and 'shrink.'…"
"They don't realize that he's actually attacking his own economy. Now, companies shrink products not for fun. It's not fun to do that, but they do it because if they don't, they have to raise prices. It's basic economics, kids."
As Ingraham pointed out, the message the campaign is sending is the exact opposite of what the White House had been pushing to that point, which was that inflation was under control and that it was time for the Fed to start to cut interest rates again. Ingraham's full segment is below…
Analysis
Biden is in real trouble, and this big shift proves that Biden is now more worried about getting re-elected than he is about making sure this country is defended and solvent.
As Ingraham alluded to in her piece, Biden has refused to take the blame for anything that has gone wrong, and the shift in messaging to blame "shrinkflation" on businesses is utterly ridiculous. They are actually helping Biden by shrinking packaging to make it appear as though prices are not going up when, in actuality, the per-ounce cost is shooting through the roof.
It will be very interesting as we move forward in the campaign to see if there are still conflicting messages or if the Biden campaign and Biden White House are able to get on the same page. What will be even more interesting to see is if the Trump campaign exploits this to show the chaos that is now taking place in this administration.

Concealed Carry Crime Stats 2024:
The Impact of Open Carry, on Crime in the U.S.
Report Highlights
· There are 26 states with permit-less concealed carry freedoms
· Washington, D.C., has the highest rate of firearm-related homicides even though it has strict carry laws.
· 83% of states with permit-less concealed carry have a homicide rate at or below the national average.
· 45% of states with no permit-less concealed carry laws have homicide rates above the national average.
· 3 out of 5 of the safest five states in the U.S. have permit-less concealed carry.
· 2 out of 5 of the top five most dangerous states in the U.S. have permit-less concealed carry, and 3 out of 5 require permits for concealed carry
· 84% of states have a lower violent crime rate in 2022 than they did before permit-less concealed carry
In 2024 there are several states with open carry and permit-less concealed carry laws.
However, there isn’t a positive correlation between permit-less carry and criminality.
The following sections explore crime rates and homicides in states with and without permit-less concealed carry laws.
States with Concealed Carry vs. Permit RequiredState laws vary widely regarding when and how citizens can carry a concealed firearm.
Twenty-six U.S. states have permit-less concealed carry, and Mississippi has some limitations regarding which calibers and how citizens can carry without a permit. However, nineteen states and Washington D.C. require permits for concealed carry of firearms.
Does Concealed Carry Reduce Crime
One of the more pressing questions about crime in the U.S. is whether permit-less concealed carry reduces violent crimes and homicides. Unfortunately, we don’t have the data to support a conclusion on the subject.
However, several states with permit-less concealed carry have lower crime rates today than they did before the passage of these new laws. Moreover, you’ll find the states with the highest and lowest crime rates have varying concealed carry laws.
By definition, only twenty-six states allow citizens to conceal carry firearms without a permit. Other states implement restrictions on how one can carry a firearm, and others require training and permits for any carry (open or concealed).
Moreover, it’s important to note that permit-less concealed carry laws do not make it easier to obtain a firearm. Although state laws vary, Federal laws restrict certain individuals from purchasing and possessing firearms nationwide (even if purchased from private sellers).
