President Biden plans ritzy Lake Tahoe vacation next week while refusing to take questions on devastating fire that killed 10 that has killed nearly 100 Americans
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • President Biden leaves Friday for a week in Lake Tahoe

  • It's his second vacation this month

  • He didn't comment on wildfires in Hawaii upon his return to the White House

#1  If he goes to Tahoe, he has no intention of running. No one campaigns in Hawaii, but presidential candidates that didn’t cost East Palestine aren’t going to win Ohio.

#8  Somehow I think Gov. Hairdoo will spend time with the "Biden Brain-trust" and Kamala-Lala-Ding-Dong will not. I'm suddenly reminded of the preference in the 50's-60's for the Mafia to use Tahoe for meetings, shades of Godfather movies. A post-vacation vacation seems odd until you consider the proximity of all that West Coast donor money, and the anonymity the Lake can offer.

The bigger question is if many corporate/private jets land at Minden-Tahoe, just up the street from me, because the actual Tahoe Airport ramp is full.
AF One and the C-17 support aircraft will use Reno and helo into Tahoe, but private aircraft can use the convenient airport at the lake itself, right outside South Lake Tahoe. But this seems a perfect place for a Central Committee meeting once any Newsome bidding is completed, and an overflow of private jets might support that assumption.

#9  "Biden" didn't go to Maui, and "Biden" won't be going to Lake Tahoe. His mind didn't go to Maui and his mind won't be at Lake Tahoe. We are governed by a cabal of grifters, and "Biden" is part of a bad parody.

Government Corruption
Trump rages 'the Witch Hunt continues' as he is charged with 'operating a 'criminal enterprise' to overturn 2020 election in Georgia with 18 other co-defendants including Rudy Giuliani: Faces 13 charges - including RICO - and 71 years in jail

#3  With each new charge and the circle of people widen.

It only reaffirms my belief that they know and fear Trump returning to office, would result in them, THE REAL CRIMINALS, being jailed for their Treason and Subversive crimes against the Citizens of America.

If Trump does not officially make the ballot.
I'll still vote for him as a write in.

#9  Preparing and trying a 41-count indictment of 19 individuals represents an enormous allocation of resources by the Fulton County DA. Which leads to the question of which crimes won't be prosecuted because of this drain of resources. Perhaps the citizens of Fulton County might prefer increased prosecution of car jacking and armed robbery. This assumes, of course, that the cost of this prosecution is coming out of the budget of the Fulton County DA, as opposed to some, err, external source.

Fulton County Court Publishes, Then Deletes, Indictment against Trump in 2020 Election Case
But they ran the 2020 elections without incident....
[NationalReview] Prosecutors in Georgia on Monday seemingly accidentally published the charges they plan to bring against former president Donald Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the Peach State.

A two-page docket was posted on the Fulton County court’s website that detailed charges against Trump, including racketeering, conspiracy and false statements, according to Reuters. However, the docket was quickly removed from the site on Monday.

Trump’s attorneys criticized the release of the docket in a statement on Monday.

"The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office has once again shown that they have no respect for the integrity of the grand jury process," attorneys Drew Findling and Jennifer Little said. "This was not a simple administrative mistake. A proposed indictment should only be in the hands of the District Attorney’s Office, yet it somehow made its way to the clerk’s office and was assigned a case number and a judge before the grand jury even deliberated. This is emblematic of the pervasive and glaring constitutional violations which have plagued this case from its very inception."

A grand jury in the case is expected to hear testimony on Monday and Tuesday. An indictment against Trump and his allies could come early this week.

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis,
...the radical leftwinger whose father was a Black Panther...
a Democrat,
...that, too...
is reportedly expected to seek more than a dozen charges against the former president.

Willis’s investigation, which began in early 2021, centered on alleged efforts from Trump and his allies to pressure election officials and a plan to put forward fake electors. The investigation launched shortly after Trump called Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger and pressured him to "find" the votes needed to flip the state in his favor. Trump maintained earlier this month that it was a "perfect phone call."

#3  Given the proven organized voting abuse in Fulton Co. Ga. in 2020. Where are the Indictments for those that were video taped and identified or the Voting dept. managers that resigned when outed?

"There were over 106,000 ballots adjudicated in Fulton County, during the 2020 election, an enormous number. Now this… On Tuesday hard proof was released of identical ballots being counted in Fulton County during the 2020 election. Liz Harrington reported: We caught them on camera rescanning ballots multiple times through the same machines"

#4  Newt Gingrich nails it.

'We are drifting towards the greatest constitutional crisis since the 1850s. This indictment is a desperate effort by a corrupt machine to destroy their most dangerous opponent, in a way which obliterates the Constitution."

FBI interview with Hunter Biden about his tax crimes never happened after Biden transition team and Secret Service were tipped off and canned it, whistleblower agent claims
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The agent, who worked for the FBI for more than two decades and retired from the bureau last year, sat for an interview with the Oversight Committee

  • Agent testified that it was 'unusual' for him to be asked to wait outside Hunter Biden's house for a call that never came when he tried to interview him

  • When asked if he had 'ever known U.S. Attorney David Weiss to make prosecutorial decisions based upon political influence,' the agent said 'no'

#1  I would hold HHS funding pending an audit of where all this money is going. It is a self-created disaster and Mayorkas ought to pay an impeachment price for the finances as well as all the other bad effects of his illegal policy. If he cries emergency, it could be pointed out that successful policies don’t lead to emergencies. FEMA ought to be audited as well. They can’t use the cash on a stealth disaster. They need to declare their failure to open the piggy bank.
