-Lurid Crime Tales-
'What Do You Pay, Joe?!' – Philly Audience Member Trolls Joe Biden Over His Taxes (VIDEO)
[Gateway] Joe and Jill Biden on Saturday delivered remarks at a political rally hosted by union members in Philadelphia.

Biden’s speech was full of lies and bizarre stories.

"I’m proud to be the most pro-union president in American history ... but what I’m really proud about is being re-elected the most pro-union president in history!" Biden said.

At one point Joe Biden said union workers "matter more" than investment bankers.

"If the investment bankers in this country went on strike tomorrow, no one would much notice ... but if this room didn’t show up for work, the whole country would come to a grinding halt. So tell me, who matters more in America?" Biden said.

Joe Biden trashed billionaires and claimed they only pay "eight percent" in taxes.

An audience member trolled Joe Biden.

"What do you pay, Joe?!"

"I pay a hell of a lot more than that!" Biden said.

Does that include the millions of dollars he made selling out his public office to the highest bidder?

#9  I get that Joe has no clue what investment bankers do or even the role of capital in our (or any) economic system.

But if they all went on strike tomorrow, there would be quite a shortage of funds for mortgages, credit cards, and other securitized assets...and if you could get that type of loan, rates would be a lot higher.

Obama Stresses ‘Need' For ‘Digital Fingerprints' To Crack Down On Information That ‘Is Not True'
[Daily Caller] Former President Barack Obama called for "digital fingerprints" to crack down on information which "is not true," during a Thursday podcast interview with a former advisor.

"The need for us, for the general public, I think to be more discriminating consumers of news and information, the need for us to over time develop technologies to create watermarks or digital fingerprints so we know what is true and what is not true," Obama told David Axelrod, a former Obama advisor who is now a CNN contributor, Fox News reported. "There’s a whole bunch of work that’s going to have to be done there, but in the short term, it’s really going to be up to the American people to kind of say."

White House flasher Rose Montoya apologizes for whipping out breasts, defends 'disrespectful' stunt a moment of 'trans joy'
[NYPOST] Rose Montoya, the transgender activist who bared her breasts at a White House Pride Month event, issued an apology "for the impact of my actions" Friday — but still defended the stunt as a "quick moment of fleeting and overwhelming trans joy."

Montoya, 27 — who was barred from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue following backlash from the flashing, which a White House spokesperson described as "inappropriate and disrespectful" — apologized for her behavior in a three-minute video on Twitter.

"I decided to do something unbecoming of a guest of the President at the White House Lawn celebration," she admitted, noting that the controversial flashing was a "quick moment of fleeting and overwhelming trans joy."

"More so than ever before, I have learned how powerful and just how impactful my actions are and how impactful it is when we share our stories and experiences, and how we do so with the world.

"I want to take this moment to apologize for the impact of my actions."

Montoya offered special words of apology to black trans individuals, and to her family and friends who were harassed in the wake of the scandal.

"Last but not least I would like to apologize to the President, the White House, and the nation," she continued.

Hunter Biden deposed in child support case — and baby mama shows up
[NYPOST] First son Hunter Biden was questioned under oath in his Arkansas child support case Friday — with the mother of his out-of-wedlock daughter showing up to watch her lawyers grill the political scion about his finances.

President Biden’s 53-year-old son was deposed by attorneys for Lunden Roberts as part of his bid to lower his $20,000 monthly child support payments for their daughter Navy Joan Roberts, 4.

Hunter arrived at the Little Rock office building for the deposition in a five-car motorcade flanked by members of the Secret Service. Roberts arrived minutes later, according to the Daily Mail.

The deposition began at 9 a.m. local time and was over by 11 a.m.

The 32-year-old former stripper made the "highly unusual" move to attend the questioning session, a source told the outlet, where her lawyers were expected to probe Hunter — a former high-paid lobbyist — about his earnings from

Teachers Union Head Says Biden, Harris ‘Really Care About People' In Official 2024 Endorsement
[Daily Caller] The American Federation of Teachers (AFT) on Friday announced its official endorsement of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 Democratic primary election.

The AFT is a "union of professionals that champions fairness; democracy; economic opportunity; and high-quality public education, healthcare and public services for our students, their families and our communities. We are committed to advancing these principles through community engagement, organizing, collective bargaining and political activism, and especially through the work our members do," according to its official mission statement.

Mike Pence promises to fire FBI Director Chris Wray, blasts 'puppet master' Soros in Post interview
[NYPOST] Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
"was" his friend, President Biden is a "disaster" and Democratic mega-donor George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true...
is a "puppet master," former Vice President Mike Pence said during an exclusive interview with The Post.

Pence, 64, who entered an increasingly crowded 2024 GOP presidential primary race this week, gave candid answers when asked for fast-take reactions to names in the news.

Some elicited quick responses, while others took longer, such as when he asked about Hunter Biden.

"Time to answer questions," he finally said, after ruminating for nearly a minute.

Other responses came much more quickly, such as when he was presented with Bud Light.

"Not anymore," Pence said.

The beer brand saw its No.2 world standing plummet after partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Stench of Death Mulvaney
...the transexual influencer who single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline and Condé Nast, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested...
The word "transgender" prompted this quick reply: "Got to protect our kids."

#8  When Pence / Christie / Hutchinson / Haley / etc. crash and burn in the primaries, the mainstream narrative will be that the Republican party is "broken." And as far as the GOPe goes, it can't happen soon enough, if you ask me.
