Flotsam and Jetsam on Father's Day

At Da Fed Tristan Justice distills down Everything We Know About The Biden Bribery Scheme From The FBI Document and Margot Cleveland details Facts Of Biden Bribery Investigation Expose Old NYT Reporting As FBI-Fueled Fake News. Sundance at CTH sees a GREAT POINT by Lee Smith – The FBI May Not Be Burying the Evidence Against Joe Biden, The FBI May be Using it as Leverage Against the White House. Hmm, blackmailing politicians? That is an old FBI tactic dating back to Hoover. Better to have a corrupt politician that you own than a clean one who doesn't owe you anything. At Breitbart, Hunter Biden’s Former Business Partner Devon Archer in Talks to Testify About Bidens’ Alleged $10M Ukraine ‘Bribe.’ The walls are closing in! From Twitchy, James Woods rewrites headline about Biden's son and ex-stripper. James Woods@RealJamesWoods, "He’s called “Biden’s son,” but she’s dismissed as “ex-stripper.” This is journalistic sexism at its lowest. Why couldn’t the headline just as easily read, “Ex-crack addict dragged into court by mother of his child?”

Sundance at CTH, It Begins, DOJ Files Motion to Limit President Trump’s Ability to Defend Himself. "The Justice Department on Friday filed a motion seeking to block former President Trump from releasing any classified materials that will be shared with his legal team during his prosecution for the mishandling of records at Mar-a-Lago, noting that some are still being used in the course of their investigation" and Excerpt Leaked – DOJ Special Counsel Motion to Block President Trump from Access to His Own Presidential Records. The redoubtable Julie Kelly on Twitter, Julie Kelly 🇺🇸@julie_kelly2 "Next scandal: DOJ refuses to give security clearance to Trump’s attorneys." At the Western Journal, Did the DOJ Try to Bribe Trump Aide's Lawyer to Cooperate with Prosecutors Against 45? At Breitbart, Trump Attorney: We Plan to ‘Depose People’ in Criminal Trial, “We also need a fair opportunity to depose people and see what their answers are to some of the things we have questions about.” Pre-trial depositions are typically more limited in criminal trials, and are usually granted by a judge only in circumstances where a witness is unlikely to be available to testify in court during the trial itself. However, Habba said she wanted more information about the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, among other topics that may relate to constitutional issues that the defense is expected to raise in challenging the prosecution’s case." At Da Fed, Joy Pullman asks Do Any Republicans Really Think DeSantis Won’t Get Impeached Or Framed By The FBI?

From Henry Rogers at Da Caller, National Security Leaders Urge Congress To Investigate FBI Over Security Clearances In Wake Of Durham Report. NewsBusters dispenses with the idea that Biden's Justice Department is Independent: a New York Times Fairy Tale

HE thinks Biden is using Ukraine to 'virtue signal' his way to re-election in 2024. Kind of an expensive campaign ad.

At Fox, White House blows off Hatch Act violation, continues using 'MAGA' despite internal watchdog's warning, "The term 'MAGA' is synonymous with former President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign — mainly because it was his slogan."

Tom Knighton at Bearing Arms, Thomas Massie drops truth bomb on KamalaThomas Massie@RepThomasMassie, "Your body guards, and dozens of “civil” agencies like the USDA, the US Dept. of Ed., and the EPA possess the firearms you are calling weapons of war. The reality is you want every citizen disarmed and every government agency armed with these guns."

Hat Hair's Dave Strom, thinks DeSantis is actually talking about issues...well. "One of the great frustrations I have with most of the Republican candidates for president, especially including Donald Trump, is that they are talking about Donald Trump all the time," and KT, The DeSantis family outing to the Reno Rodeo sent Team Trump into a snit. It's not that hard to do. And Capt. Ed, DeSantis' Turnout U: "Close the sale" on an unprecedented scale.

Hat Hair's KT hears Obama slams Tim Scott for being a black conservative running for president. Noah Rothman at NRO decries Obama’s Revealing Attack on Minority Republicans. Capt. Ed comments "Obama has always promoted victimology over optimism and redistribution over opportunity. What’s most telling is that he and Joe Biden have run this country for ten out of the last fourteen years and Obama claims that nothing has changed since his election. Sounds like a good argument for a complete change in direction from the Obam-Biden divisive and racialist rhetoric, no?" Tyler O'Neil at Da Signal watches Tim Scott EVISCERATE Attack on Moms Who Want Education to Focus on ‘ABCs, Not CRT.’

At Fox, James Carville calls Vivek Ramaswamy's vow to pardon Trump the 'smartest strategy,' "Other GOP presidential opponents seem like 'they’re waiting to pounce on Trump's carcass,' Carville said" Ollie Wiseman at Spec World, cited at Hat Hair, worries Is America apathetic enough for a third-party run? "The third-party chatter could get very embarrassing for Biden: a bipartisan group of moderates essentially saying that he and Trump are as bad as one another."

Gail Heriot at Insty, THE ESSENCE OF FEMININITY:  "Nothing says “I am a WOMAN” like raping and murdering a 14-year-old babysitter and a 38-year-old mother." Aaron Sibarium @aaronsibarium, "Pretty impressive that Owen—who raped and murder multiple women, including a 14-year-old babysitter—managed to survive 30 plus years without “medically necessary gender-affirming care.”" Michael Watson@MichaelWatsonDC, "If I opposed the death penalty, I would probably focus on the whole “the death penalty is bad” argument, not…whatever this is."

Jazz Shaw, Girl sues hospital for removing breasts at age 13. Mary Margret Olohan at Da Signal elaborates Teen Accuses Doctors Of Madly Rushing Her Into Child Gender Transition. Capt. Ed comments  "The medical establishment might resist the idea that this is experimentation, but that won’t matter when these cases get into court and defendants can’t produce solid science for these ‘therapies’. Insurers will refuse to underwrite gender-transition surgeries once juries start stacking up the awards, especially in pediatric cases. The wave of lawsuits to come will bury these practices, and the real science showing the damage done will implode the current medical establishment."  New Neo has some interesting videos at The trans proliferation: Part I (intro and grooming). At the DC Enquirer, Rep. Dan Crenshaw Corners Far-Left Yale Professor For Not Having Scientific Evidence On Gender-Transitioning Care For Minors.
