[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips slammed Joe Biden, saying he is displaying 'physical and communication decline' after the president stumbled through a speech at a brewery and put on a hard hat backwards.
Congressman Phillips, a longshot candidate against the 81-year-old incumbent, says the issues are 'self-evident' as concerns about Biden's age loom over his re-election bid.
The Minnesota lawmaker's comments came hours after Biden's remarks at a Wisconsin brewery where he mixed up his words and called former president Donald Trump 'professor' rather than 'predecessor', before correcting himself.
At one point he seemed to speak nonsensically.
He appeared to say: 'The beer brewed here. It is used to make the brewed beer. During is define, oh, Earth Rider. Thanks for the Great Lakes. I wonder why.'

He had the hard hat on the right way but the owner of the hard hat always wears it backwards so the owner inserted the liner backwards. Hard to explain. But since Biden has never worked a day in his life he didn't realize how the backwards liner mad him look like a fool, don't you know.

[PJ] Another Joe Biden judicial nominee has been exposed as completely unqualified for the position she’s been nominated for. Earlier this month, Biden nominated Robin M. Meriweather to be a judge on the Court of Federal Claims. This week, she got stumped by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) after being asked some simple questions about how the Court of Federal Claims works.
It took Kennedy no time to expose the fact that she had no idea.
Kennedy started off by asking her how many motions she’d argued in the Court of Federal Claims, forcing her to admit that, despite having argued "hundreds of motions involving complex civil claims in numerous courts, the Court of Federal Claims is not one of those courts."
"Okay, so the answer is zero." Kennedy clarified.
"That is correct, senator."
"Okay, how many cases have you tried in the Court of Federal Claims?"
"I have tried a civil case in the District Court for the District of Columbia; most of my cases have been resolved on motions; none of those cases have been in the Court of Federal Claims, although they involve similarly complex matters under civil laws," Meriweather began, clearly trying to avoid the real answer.

This man is a treasure. My favorite quote from him is around how much money we give to foreign countries. His response was “Shouldn’t they be able to hate us for free”

How can they not know that he is going to do this at this point? This Administration must just be trying to shotgun stupid people into the judiciary; he can’t be catching them all.

[Rachet News] The fix is in. To "protect democracy," democracy is already being canceled. We just haven’t admitted the implications of this to ourselves yet.
On Sunday, January 14th, NBC News ran an eye-catching story: "Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ’dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House." It described "a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers" that is "quietly" making plans to "foil any efforts to expand presidential power" on the part of Donald Trump.
The piece quoted an array of former high-ranking officials, all insisting Trump will misuse the Department of Defense to execute civilian political aims. Since Joe Biden’s team "leaked" a strategy memo in late December listing "Trump is an existential threat to democracy" as Campaign 2024’s central talking point, surrogates have worked overtime to insert existential or democracy in quotes. This was no different:
"We’re about 30 seconds away from the Armageddon clock when it comes to democracy," said Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, adding that Trump is "a clear and present danger to our democracy." Skye Perryman of Democracy Forward, one of the advocacy groups organizing the "loose" coalition, said, "We believe this is an existential moment for American democracy." Declared former CIA and defense chief Leon Panetta: "Like any good dictator, he’s going to try to use the military to basically perform his will."
Former Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice and current visiting Georgetown law professor Mary McCord was one of the few coalition participants quoted by name. She said:

Isn’t it interesting that the people who were claiming in 2016 that Trump will wreck the economy and get us into WWIII are the same people who have wrecked the economy and are getting us into WWIII.

Still a Republic, but more in the late Roman Republic sort of way. The powerful men make sure they get what they want and fuck everyone else. In Rome, the people that opposed them were beaten to death by the Senate mob and tossed in the river. Nowdays they are destroyed on social media and the DOJ.

The answer is to make it really hard for them to fake it — vote in person, volunteer as a poll watcher, help with True The Vote or whatever voter-rolls cleansing group is active in your area, drive other Republicans/conservatives to the polls who would otherwise not bother...

Hunter Biden's bong-smoking Hollywood attorney Kevin Morris actually lent the president's son over $6.5 million dollars - over one million more than he previously disclosed.According to a letter from Morris' attorney to the House Oversight Committee obtained by DailyMail.com, he made five loan payments to Hunter between October 2021 and December 2023.
[Yahoo] Like many super PACs, the origins of Last Best Place, a group that’s spent millions targeting a top candidate in Montana’s GOP Senate primary, were a puzzle to be solved.
But it turns out the answer isn’t so surprising.
Senate Majority PAC, a group closely aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), confirmed to HuffPost it’s the mysterious political entity behind the group funding a multi-million dollar TV ad blitz against Tim Sheehy, a wealthy businessman seeking the GOP nomination to face endangered Senate Democrat Jon Tester in Montana.
Last Best Place PAC — a nod to the slogan Montanans use to describe their sparsely populated state — has already spent nearly $5.8 million on its ad campaign since September. The group has attempted to paint Sheehy as a wealthy interloper with “shady” ties to China and the Cayman Islands.
Though it was clear that Democrats were behind Last Best Place, the group driving its political strategy hadn’t been unmasked until now.
Last Best Place hasn’t yet disclosed its fundraising sources, but it must file its first report with the Federal Election Commission at the end of the month. A spokesperson for Senate Majority PAC said the filing will show that it’s the sole entity funding Last Best Place.
Republicans see this as Democrats meddling in their primary, a controversial strategy Democrats used in 2022 to promote right-wing candidates they viewed as easier general-election opponents. It worked: Democrats were able to defeat candidates with views on abortion and the 2020 election that were out of step with moderate electorates.
That seems to be what’s happening in Montana — but not in quite the same way.
National Republicans consider Sheehy the strongest match for Tester, and he’s running with the backing of the Mitch McConnell-aligned National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). But Sheehy faces a likely challenge from Matt Rosendale, a far-right House member who narrowly lost the 2018 election to Tester. Rosendale told podcaster Steve Bannon on Thursday that he intends to seek a rematch but claims that NRSC Chairman Sen. Steve Daines, a fellow Montanan, has tried to keep him from running.
Rosendale compared it to what Republican Kari Lake alleges happened to her in Arizona, where she claims the now-former state GOP chairman attempted to bribe her to stay out of the Senate race. Rosendale claimed, without evidence, that Daines has “billionaires” prepared to spend “a lot of money” to keep him out of the primary.
“Instead of sending someone basically to my office to offer me monetary consideration to get out of the race, the first thing they tried to do, Steve Daines himself tried to convince me that I need to tone it down,” Rosendale told Bannon.
In a statement to HuffPost, NRSC communications director Mike Berg said: “It is unfortunate that Congressman Rosendale is casting blame on others for his fundraising challenges and trouble keeping staff.”
Democrats seem to want to smooth the ground for Rosendale, a staunch abortion opponent who tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election and who helped oust former GOP House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from leadership in 2023.
The Montana Democratic Party paid for Facebook ads appearing to boost Rosendale, though the party denied that was its aim. The party bought ads in December under the name Treasure State Truths, including one linking to an op-ed praising Rosendale as 100% anti-abortion and another highlighting remarks from Sheehy falsely stating that Montana has more bears than people.
All this underscores the messiness at play in Montana that will only intensify ahead of the June primary and November general election. Both sides are expected to pour millions more into what will likely be one of the nation’s most expensive Senate contests alongside Ohio, where Democrat Sherrod Brown is seeking reelection in a state that Trump won by 8 percentage points in 2020. Trump did even better in Montana, winning by 16 points.
Republicans only need to expand their Senate map by two seats to flip control of the 51-49 Senate. And the party is already poised to capture West Virginia, where conservative Democrat Joe Manchin isn’t running for reelection, virtually ensuring his seat will go to a Republican.
Last Best Place’s first ad appeared in September, attacking Sheehy for accepting a PPP loan, part of a government assistance program available for businesses during the pandemic. Subsequent ads hammered Sheehy on the loan, as well as financial ties to China and the Cayman Islands. Sheehy’s campaign didn’t respond to a request for comment.
“Tim Sheehy doesn’t get to use his shady money to create his own reality,” said Senate Majority PAC President J.B. Poersch in a statement to HuffPost. “The truth is Sheehy is Mitch McConnell’s prized recruit who plans to spend his millions to mask just how out of touch he is from hardworking Montanans.”
Last Best Place’s treasurer, former GOP state Sen. Dave Lewis, also attacked Sheehy in a statement to HuffPost. Lewis, who was in the Montana legislature from 2001 to 2015 and voted twice for Trump, now identifies as a libertarian.
“Montanans deserve a senator who understands Montana — someone who understands our beliefs and our values. But that’s not Tim Sheehy ... He may be Mitch McConnell’s idea of a perfect candidate, but he certainly isn’t ours,” Lewis said.
Last Best Place is only responsible for a portion of the political advertising that’s been saturating the airwaves in Montana. Sheehy’s campaign and allied super PACs have been on TV with spots linking Tester to President Joe Biden, who is deeply unpopular in Montana. The NRSC also placed an ad buy this week, boosting Sheehy.
Earlier this month, More Jobs, Less Government, a pro-Sheehy super PAC, took out a radio ad blasting Last Best Place as a tool of Democratic donors, the Washington Examiner reported.
“Have you seen an ad from Last Best Place PAC? The one’s calling America-first conservative Tim Sheehy ‘shady Sheehy,’” the ad’s narrator says. “But the group airing the ad? Well, they’re the ones who are shady. That’s because Last Best Place PAC is tied to big-money Democrat donors. Why? Because Democrats are trying to interfere in the Republican primary to hurt pro-Trump Tim Sheehy and help liberal Jon Tester.”
[Federalist] Former Wyoming Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney encouraged former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley to stay in the presidential primary on the left-wing podcast "Pod Save America" Friday.
"I hope she stays in the race as long as she has to," Cheney said the day after the New Hampshire contest, urging Haley to compete "through Super Tuesday."
Trump carried the Granite State primary on Tuesday by 11 points after sweeping the Iowa caucuses last week. On "Pod Save America," Cheney said she wasn’t making an official endorsement in the race, but trashed former President Donald Trump as an "existential threat" who can’t carry the general election.
"So we need to make sure we’re challenging him and working to defeat him at every step of the way," Cheney said. "And right now, Nikki Haley is in this fight and I think she ought to stay in it."

She should stay in otherwise the race just becomes a jog. Haley is a good piñata for us although when she breaks it will turn out to be low quality candy - Sweet Tarts, Pixie Sticks and Milk Duds. Then we can beat on Biden for a while until he drops out. Finally we will get to the Boss.

Just like Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley's career in politics is kaput. The best she can hope for now is a gig at a cable news channel or lecturer at some Ivy League polysci department.

[Yahoo] President Joe Biden’s top migration adviser in the National Security Council will depart the White House next week after playing a key role in the administration’s immigration strategy for three years, according to an NSC spokesperson.
Katie Tobin, who served as the senior director for transborder security, is leaving her post at a time when border policy is front and center due to record levels of migrants crossing at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Her departure, which had been planned for several months, comes amid high-stakes talks between the White House and senators on changes to asylum laws.
