Flotsam and Jetsam - White House Got the White Line Blues

Democrats have reached the "Republicans pounce" stage in the White House cocaine story. Mary Chastain at LI, White House Allies Call Cocaine Story ‘Political Fodder,’ House Republicans Open Investigation. "House Oversight Committee: “This incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House.”Atop Da Hill, White House cocaine discovery becomes GOP ‘political fodder’  Jordan Boyd at Da Fed, The White House That Tracked Down Grannies After Capitol Riot Wants You To Believe Cocaine Caper Has Them Stumped. Insty, A NON-DENIAL DENIAL: "‘Incredibly Irresponsible:’ White House Press Secretary Chides Reporter for Asking Whether Cocaine Belonged to Bidens." At Da Wire, KJP Still Won’t Answer Directly Whether That Cocaine Belonged To A Biden Family Member. At Da Mail,There's no hiding now! Secret Service orders DNA and fingerprint analysis of 'dime-sized' cocaine baggie found in the West Wing. Ace, Ex-Border-Control-Chief: The White House Is Filled With Cameras, They Already Know Who Left the Coke. Which Is Why They're Not Telling You Whose Coke It Is. NewsMax notes House Oversight Wants Briefing on White House Cocaine. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, House Oversight to WH: Don't blow us off on the coke scandal, "As far as the headline goes … I’m here all week, folks." Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 07.07.23, Twitchy: Special K’s Biden Coke Bag Alibi Collides With Media Pool Report, from the Shark Tank Byron Donalds Responds To White House “Cocaine Cowboy” Scandal and at Mark Steyn a guest host discusses White Lines at the White House.



Ace, The Hunter Biden Prosecution Team Was Swapped Out at the Last Moment, Just Before They Agreed to This Corrupt Plea Deal. "It's almost as if there's some kind of sham going on here. The suspicion is that they wanted "cleanskins" to sign off on the plea deal -- "cleanskins" who were not involved in the previous fraudulent investigation, which involved repeatedly shutting down important lines of investigation." At HE, REVEALED: Wife of US Attorney for DC who refused to prosecute Hunter Biden had 'all-access pass' to White House. Hey, maybe it's her coke!
From Da Caller, IRS Whistleblower’s Attorney Slams Washington Post For Not Correcting Hunter Biden Story “The paper knows with 100% certainty that Gary Shapley did not leak for its story but is aiding and abetting the Biden attorneys’ false narrative with its silence,” he tweeted. “It’s fundamentally unfair to Gary Shapley and grossly misleading to the public. Democracy Dies in Darkness, so the paper should let in a little sunlight and correct the record,” At NYPo, Justice Department admits it could delay Hunter Biden plea deal: docs. “A DOJ attorney admitted to us that this sweetheart plea deal date was moveable,” Heritage Foundation Oversight Director Mike Howell told The Post Friday. “This deal shouldn’t move forward in any circumstance, but if Garland and the DOJ try to push it through before they comply with their legal responsibilities to release information to us then they aren’t even trying to hide their weaponization anymore.” Capt. Ed. "They *could*, but I wonder if they *will*. It should be pushed off for more transparency and honesty about the conduct of the DoJ, Weiss, and Garland. But I wonder if the DoJ may be starting to worry about what the judge in the case might do if they try to submit this deal as-is under current circumstances. Judge Maryellen Norelka might delay a ruling herself, or worse yet, refuse to accept it at all. The Heritage Foundation has a FOIA demand for documents relating to the deal, and a court has ruled that the DoJ has to answer it by Monday. Stay tuned — and I’d bet Norelka is staying tuned too." Nick Arama at Red State wants you to watch the video I posted yesterday, WATCH: Missing Whistleblower Gal Luft Drops Bombshell Video on China, Biden Corruption, and Hunter's FBI Mole 'One Eye'. Oh, and the "one-eyed mole maybe be former FBI director Louis Freeh. PJM's Vicky Taft, Explosive Video: 'Missing Witness' Says He Told DOJ in 2019 About Biden Family's Corrupt Dealings with China.


At NewsMax, DOJ: Jack Smith Has Spent Over $9M on Trump Probe. They'd spend $9 Billion of your money if necessary to stop Trump. Politico crows over a plainly political prosecution Disciplinary panel calls for Rudy Giuliani’s disbarment.

At Da Caller, Tucker Says Capitol Police Chief Told Him Jan. 6 Crowd Was ‘Filled’ With Feds, confirming what we suspected. Newsweek, Tucker Carlson Shares Details of Never-Aired Capitol Riot Interview "I never thought that and then I interviewed the chief of the Capitol police, Steven Sund, in an interview that was never aired on Fox by the way. I was fired before it could air... but Steven Sund [who] was totally non-political...I mean this was not some right-wing activist, he was the chief of Capitol police on January 6, and he said, 'Oh yeah, that crowd was filled with federal agents.' Yes, he would know of course because he was in charge of security at the site." Liz Stauffer at Power Line, Chief of Capitol Police to Tucker Carlson: J6 Crowd Was ‘Filled with Federal Agents’
Phil Klein at NRO (cited at Hat Hair) thinks Mike Pence has a great answer about January 6. "I'm sorry ma'am, but that's actually what the Constitution says. No Vice President in American history ever asserted the authority that you have been convinced that I had."

Sam Mangold-Lennett at Da Fed, Here’s How Congress Can End The FBI’s Reign Of Terror. He thinks taking away their intelligence role might do it. I think it needs to be raised to the ground, and the ground salted. Take the honest agents and roll them into the Marshall's service.


Eliot Cohen at the Slantic says Step Aside, Joe Biden, "The president has no business running for office at age 80." Sarah Arnold at Town Hall notes Politico Says What We're All Thinking: What If Biden 'Just Dies One Evening?' At WaEx, Biden celebrates 'Bidenomics' amid slowing job growth. It's working! At Hat Hair, Beege Wellborn, New #mathz: Bidenomics not adding up to happy, happy, joy, joy. Mary Chastain at LI thinks this ‘Might be Kamala Harris’ Best Yet’: VP’s Latest Word Salad is All About Culture, “This is the emptiest human being alive. Sincerely. Empty. Vapid. Nonsense.” At Twitchy, HUME-ILIATED: Brit Hume just needs two little (SAVAGE) words to sum up Kamala Harris' LATEST word salad, "Utter gibberish." Sundance at CTH sees Gavin Newsom on the Campaign Trail (For Biden?) Althouse, "As a journalist who has been told for decades that my empathy for the female candidates I often cover is probably overemotional and built too strongly on personal identification..." "... let me just tell you that you should never stand between a white male political journalist over the age of 40 and his feelings about the Kennedys...."Writes Rebecca Traister, in "RFK Jr.’s Inside Job How a conspiracy-spewing literal Kennedy posing as a populist outsider jolted the Democratic Party" (NY Magazine).

Also from sundance, Tucker Carlson Discusses President Trump, RFK Jr and American Politics with Russell Brand (a more complete version that the clip above) and The Club Battle – Donald J Trump is Not the Cause of Republican Failure, He is the Result of Their Failure. Hollywood in Toto, Tucker Carlson Hearts Trump, RFK Jr., Slams Jan. 6 Coverage, "Russell Brand interviews former Fox News superstar in first post-firing chat." At Da Wire, Tucker Carlson Says He Made ‘A Huge Mistake’ Getting Involved With Politics In 2022. Capt. Ed notes "It’s okay to miss a few calls, but Tucker’s right — that’s not his bread and butter. He’s much better on ideas, policies, and cultural trends. That also interests his audience more than horse-race stuff." NYPo is incensed when Ron DeSantis ripped by ‘Peaky Blinders’ for using show in ‘Pride’ campaign ad. At Grabien, cited at Hat Hair, Ramaswamy: I won't be Trump's running mate. Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 07.07.23, Don Surber  has doubts,  What’s The Case For Chris Christie? "The hippo-sized RINO would put on blackface and sing Mammy for the right price." Veronique de Rugy has Three Warnings About Election Season.

Mike LaChance at LI, After Affirmative Action Ruling, Schools Finally Admit That Race had Impact on Admissions, “schools are insisting that, without considering race, minority admissions will plummet.” Yiatan Chu at NYPo sees The REAL bigots: Leftist elites attacking me and other Asians over Supremes’ affirmative-action ruling. Dave Bernstein at the Volokh Conspiracy hears Justice Kagan: Affirmative Action Suggests that Beneficiaries Could Not be Accepted Based on Merit Alone. Bill Otis at Ringside explores The Telling Omissions of the NYT's Bad Argument for Continuing Race-Based Admissions, "There were five words glaringly missing from the Times editorial: “cost,” “Asian,” “teenager,” “standards,” and “endpoint.”" Hat Hair's Dave Strom explains Affirmative action was always based upon a flawed assumption, also, Arizona AG tells U.S. Supreme Court to shove it. Ilya Somin at WaEx sees 'Diversity' house of cards collapses. Capt. Ed, "The use of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” as an excuse for discriminatory conduct is clearly at an end. That doesn’t mean that DEI advocates will simply melt away; they will push those outcomes in other ways. The problem that Somin makes clear is that there are no ways around the fact that DEI is itself discriminatory and therefore subject to the same issues as SFFA v Harvard exposed." From Behind the Black, Pushback: Non-profit legal firm warns 200 law schools they will be sued if they defy the Supreme Court’s decision ending all racial quotas. Joe Klein at Front Page explores Three Landmark Supreme Court Decisions Protecting a Free America
"The guardians of the Constitution take a noble stand." At WaEx, New group targets vulnerable Republicans over Supreme Court student debt ruling. I think Republicans win this fight. Student debt holders already vote heavily Democrat anyway. Republicans have the potential to motivate a much larger group being asked to support the few. Rabbi Fischer at Am Spec notes 303 Creative Protects a Little Kosher Bakery From LGBTQ Tyrants. "Thanks to the Christian heroes who led the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court, a small Orthodox Jewish bakeshop now has a chance to keep baking challahs, bagels, rugelach, and — yes — even rainbow sprinkle cookies."

Da Caller, EXCLUSIVE: Rep. MTG Introduces Legislation That Would Ban Illegal Immigrants From Voting In DC . At Fox, Teens, Democrats continue push to lower voting age to 16, "Nationwide left-wing efforts to let 16-year-olds vote start bearing fruit" even though their brains aren't fully developed until about 25. 

It’s a true Fourth of July case by a hero of this nation. Jason Cohen at Da Caller sees Judge’s Injunction On Biden Censorship Operation Is More Far-Reaching Than Initially Reported, but Hannah Cox at Base Politics A federal judge just ruled against the government’s social media censorship campaigns. But there’s one big loophole. I already identified it, "national security." Capt. Ed, "I pointed this out as well. The good news is that the exceptions in the Doughty order relate to functions specific to real law enforcement and counter-intelligence, which locks State, HHS, Census Bureau, and their subsidiary agencies out of the process. That still leaves the DoJ and FBI with the ability to perhaps work around this order, but doing so would put their personnel in real danger of prosecution if a Republican president gets elected and fresh leadership at the DoJ takes contempt orders seriously." James Lynch at Da Caller, Facebook Suppressed Tucker Carlson Video That Did Not Violate Content Policy After White House Demanded It, Judge Says. At Breitbart, CNN’s Mattingly: Biden ‘Regularly’ Sought Censorship on COVID, Tech Companies Mostly Gave in, and That’s ‘Probably What We Should Do.' 
At Da Fed Evita Duffy identifies 12 Times The Biden White House Colluded With Big Tech To Throttle Free Speech, According To Missouri v. Biden and Jordan Boyd says Missouri v. Biden Proves Corporate Media Lied About Big Tech’s Censorship Crusade Against Conservatives. Sundance, Biden Administration Appeals Court Ruling That Blocks Govt from Censoring Free Speech on Social Media, of course. Scott Johnson at Power Line says Walk away, Joe. Capt. Ed, "Scott points out that Judge Terry Doughty appears to have anticipated an application for a stay at the Fifth Circuit with his memorandum accompanying the injunction. It lays out in devastating detail the evidence found in discovery about viewpoint suppression and interference in dissent and debate by the executive branch with social-media platforms. One potential outcome, however, might be that the Fifth Circuit finds the injunction too expansive in terms of potential defendants and remands it back to Doughty for a more practical construct."
