Flotsam and Jetsam - Biden Alias Scandal Enlarges, Trump to Skip Debate, Talk to Tucker

The Biden pseudonym scandal, first reported yesterday, continues. Dan Chaitin at Da Wire, reports Comer Seeks Records Of Biden Allegedly Using Pseudonym As Vice President. I bet he does. PJM's Kevin Downey rhetorically asks Why Did Joe Biden Need Three Aliases in Ukraine-Related Emails? Awww, You Know Why! Ace answers Update: Biden Used Three Fake Names to Secretly Pass Confidential Government Information to His Compromised Crackhead Russian-Hooker-Consorting Son "And he was using the fake names precisely because he didn't want his sharing of sensitive government information with his security risk son for corrupt "business" purposes discovered in a FOIA search (JTN)." NYPo, Joe Biden used email pseudonyms while VP to loop in Hunter on Ukraine, government business. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, Laptop data shows Joe Biden used pseudonyms to pass inside info to Hunter.  Insty at his NYPo gig says Joe Biden’s email aliases reveal truth behind aw-shucks facade. "Some New Yorkers may remember Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, the mob boss who pretended to be crazy for 30 years to throw off law enforcement."  He thinks the apparent senility might be an act. But even corruptocrats can lose their shit as they get old. Mark Wright at NRO, cited at Hat Hair, Come on, man: "Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware" won't be the nominee. Capt. Ed disagrees, "They have to get rid of Kamala Harris first. There is no scenario in which Biden “retires” that nominating anyone other than Harris works. The party anointed her as The Diversity Future by putting her on the ticket in 2020, and pushing her off the next ticket in favor of Some Random White Dude will create a bitter internecine feud. And Harris is so terrible at politics that they simply cannot nominate her unless they really just want to let her lose to get her out of the way. They’re stuck with Biden." Bob Spencer at PJM thinks It’s Getting Serious Now: L.A. Times Kicks Off the Dems’ 'Dump-Harris' Movement

Nick Arama at Red State thinks a Revealing 2018 Hunter Biden Text Demolishes Joe Biden's 'Arm's Length' Defense. "My dad has been using most lines on this account which I’ve through the gracious offerings of Eric [Schwerin] have paid for past 11 years," Hunter wrote." At Twitchy, Hunter Biden's lawyer explains why foreigners were paying him millions and try not to laugh. “He’s a capable, educated, experienced person.” NewsBusters is outraged, Wiki WOW! Damning Emails Reveal Manipulated Biden Wikipedia Entries. Isn't that the point of wikipedia? 

At Da Caller, Judge Approves Motion Allowing DOJ Prosecutors To Bring Charges Against Hunter Biden In A Different District, or just take more time to allow the statute of limitations to expire again, like he did on the earlier tax charges. Also ‘Not Illegal’: Hunter Biden’s Lawyer Says People Have Been Using Family Names To Gain Opportunities ‘For Millennia.’  UPI, Judge formally dismisses tax charges against Hunter Biden. I really don't hold out a lot of hope for a conviction of Hunter, none of the jurisdictions will be favorable to a prosecution, and at this point, there's no evidence Weiss is really seeking one. He's just going through the motions. But, at PM, Federal judge denies Hunter Biden's motion to seal IRS whistleblower materials, so at least he can't keep the evidence under wraps.  

Atop Da Summit, a Video: Tulsi Gabbard Blasts Biden Admin’s “Horrible” Response To Maui Disaster. That's one native who is definitely off the reservation. Da Caller, ‘We Are Suffering’: Maui Residents Slam Biden Admin Response To Deadly Wildfires. As Da Fed's Elle Purnell notes Biden’s $700 Checks To Hawaii Fire Victims Won’t Even Cover Their Share Of Ukraine Bill. NYPo, Biden’s Hawaii response follows familiar pattern: Ignore, deny, then claim he’s done a great job.

From Nick Arama, Here's Your Friday Night Laugh: CBS Gives Us a Wonderful Freudian Slip About Joe Biden. Hat Hair, Oopsers: CBS titles Biden "former" president. Da Caller reports Hot Mic Catches Biden Muttering ‘Politely Ask Press To Leave’ Before Event Abruptly Ends. Nap time! Da Caller reports Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips Says Biden Shouldn’t Run Given ‘Risk Of Another Trump Presidency.’ 

Hat Hair's Dave Strom paraphrases Vox: Americans need to know about all the free money Biden is giving away! "Vox doesn’t even try to hide the fact that the intent behind naming the Inflation Reduction Act was to lie told to Americans. Their big complaint is that not enough people have figured out that it was a total con and decided to take advantage of the scammier parts of the bill."

From Liberty Unyielding, Biden Interior Secretary Hit With Ethics Complaint By Watchdog.

I&I, Trump Indicted for Citing Data From Ph.D.-Vetted Study On Election Fraud. Ph.D. ain't always right, ask my wife, but they mostly try to be. PJM's Matt Margolis hears Gingrich Makes Bombshell Allegation About Latest Trump Indictment "Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich revealed on Thursday that a reliable source told him that a request was made from Washington, D.C., to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis that she had to bring charges against former President Donald Trump because they needed a distraction from the “screw up” with recently appointed Special Counsel David Weiss." Matthew G. Andersson at Am Think thinks he knows The legal flaw of United States v. Trump. Shouldn't that be flaws?  "Is the plaintiff actually the United States of America? Isn’t it actually the DNC Party?  Josiah Lippincott at Am Great details How President Trump Can Use Political Pressure to Defeat the Biden Witch Hunt "For one, the Trump campaign should start now by laying the groundwork for widespread pro-Trump rallies and protests if the President is unjustly imprisoned. The trucker rally in Canada is the model. At its height, the Canadian government nearly imploded in the face of this public pressure." Dave Strom at Hat Hair unkindly speculates, Is Trump's run all about paying legal fees? John Sexton at Hat Hair notes Trump won't be releasing the Kraken next Monday. That's too bad, I really wanted to see the Kraken. At Am Think Matt Kane thinks Trump Can Prove It

From Da Fetched, Bill Barr Predicts Trump Will be Convicted Before Next Summer. So do I, but I don't think it's a good thing. What's the point of railroading someone if the train takes forever? Breitbart reports Donald Trump Seeks April 2026 Trial Date in January 6 Case. At the Free Bacon,  Media Give Donald Trump the Tony Soprano Treatment "Lib journos gleefully compare Trump to 'mobsters and gangsters' following Georgia indictment on RICO charges." The solution is to start charging Democrats with RICO in a bunch of Red States. ET, Judge Orders Sealed Hearing for Protective Order in Trump Classified Documents Case. TNP notes Jan 6 Trump Judge Is Close Relative of ‘Dangerous’ Jamaican Marxists. "Democrat donor Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of Donald Trump over Jan 6, is a close relative of “dangerous” Marxists who operated in her native Jamaica." Mary Chastain at LI sees a GA State Senator Demands Emergency Session to Investigate Fulton County DA Fani Willis. Political charges deserve a political response. Matt Vespa at Town Hall says If This Happens During Trump's Trials, The Left Is Bound to Go Insane"If Trump is convicted, most courts would allow him to remain free pending appeals on the weighty constitutional and evidentiary issues raised by the Georgia case. That process could easily take a couple of years." Can they go more insane?

Jack Crow at NRO, Trump Plans to Skip First GOP Debate, Sit for Tucker Carlson Interview Instead. NYT, cited by Hat Hair, Breaking: Trump to skip debate, do Tucker Carlson interview instead. 'Bonchie' at Red State, Donald Trump Is Officially Skipping the Debate, and the RNC Has Egg on Its Face. Sundance at CTH is pretty thrilled, Emperor Murdoch Going Bananas – President Trump Will Interview with Tucker Carlson During GOPe Debate. Also, This is Donald Trump’s Most Brilliant Inside Move to Benefit the MAGA Movement. Meh. Althouse notices Excessive Trumpism and "Of all the ways in which Trump broke the political model, a basic one was in the biography of a Presidential contender." 

Breitbart has a Poll: DeSantis in Four-Way Tie for Second Place in New Hampshire. Tom Jackson at Hat Hair VIP, With Florida's 'Freedom First' economy en fuego, DeSantis' strategy is clear: Tout the record. Never-anybody-but-Trump sundance is pissed, Ain’t That a Peach, Ron DeSantis Holds Private Meeting with Brian Kemp in Georgia.  Breitbart has a Report: Documents Unearthed Reveal DeSantis Super PAC Plan to Defend Trump and ‘Hammer’ Ramaswamy in Debate

Da Caller has highlights from Tucker's sit down with Vivek, ‘Play Some Political Snakes And Ladders’: Ramaswamy Talks Campaign, America’s Future And Foreign Policy With Tucker. Althouse catches the NYT firing a racist opening salvo at Vivek, "The document’s first paragraph, addressing Mr. Ramaswamy’s past support for inheritance taxes, draws a link between that policy position and his Hindu upbringing..."

"... as the son of Indian immigrants. 'Ramaswamy — a Hindu who grew up visiting relatives in India and was very much ingrained in India’s caste system — supports this as a mechanism to preserve a meritocracy in America and ensure everyone starts on a level playing field,' the document states...."

From "Ramaswamy’s Faith Singled Out in DeSantis Super PAC Memo/An opposition research memo suggests that Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been gaining on Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida in some polls, 'was very much ingrained in India’s caste system'" 

Da Fetched reports Biden Megadonor Gives Massive Contribution to Trump GOP Rival as Worrying Trend Begins "Multi-billionaire and Biden megadonor, Barry Diller, has donated $50,000 to aid the presidential campaign of Republican Trump rival Chris Christie."

Winsome Earle-Sears is calling on the 2024 crop of Republican presidential candidates to stop their “scorched earth” attacks on each other and turn their fire on the Democrats and President Joe Biden. Matt Margolis at PJM agrees I Don’t Care Who You’re Backing in the GOP Primary, Don’t Pull This Crap

Stacy McCain finally listens to ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ 

After 10 days of reading endless commentary about Oliver Anthony’s viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond,” I finally decided to watch the YouTube video and see for myself: Red-bearded young man with a muscular voice picking a Gretsch dobro and singing the blues about “what the world’s gotten to,” and how it feels to be “livin’ in the new world with an old soul.” Brother, don’t I know! Been feeling it all my life, but it’s my choice to play the clown, to act as if I’m undamaged and undaunted by the evil directed against me: “Never let ’em see you sweat.”

Ace, Country Protest Song by Oliver Anthony Racks Up 19 Million YouTube Views in 9 Days "Michael Shellenberger sums up the case the left is making that he's an inauthentic plant . . . And so they're trying to destroy this guy -- for writing lyrics they don't like. Ya Boi Zach pointed out that the press doesn't write reports any more. They write only two kinds of propaganda: Puff pieces, and hit pieces. And they don't even wait to collect the facts before choosing which they're writing. They know going in.

Hat Hair's KT notes Transgender women banned from competing in women's chess tournaments. Fox8, World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women’s events. I'm pretty sure it's because of all the upper arm strength needed to move the pawns around. Michael Cantrell at PJM, 'He Literally Just Strolled in and Did It': Female Powerlifter Vents After Trans Male Destroys Record. “Those records will never, ever be broken by a biological female,” Hutchinson stated, making her case. Mike LaChance at LI reports Puberty Blockers and Gender Surgeries on Children Barred in NC After Republican Override Of Veto. “Republican Sen. Joyce Krawiec, primary sponsor of the bill restricting gender-affirming care, said the state has a responsibility to protect children from receiving potentially irreversible procedures before they are old enough to make their own informed medical decisions.” Dave Strom at Hat Hair VIP, Do they really need to celebrate a sex offender? Apparently.

Freddy DeBoer shares an Excerpt, How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement: Whatever Happened to 2020? PJM's Lincoln Brown is not amused when Taxpayer-Funded Minneapolis Art Center Holds 'Family' Class on Summoning Demons. Party of science. Da Fed's Shawn Fleetwood reports Leftists  Sue New College Of Florida Reformers For Not Letting Them Indoctrinate Students On Taxpayers’ Dime. Dan Greenfield at Front Page notes how Radicals Want Porn, Not PragerU, in Schools "Don’t ban graphic porn, ban PragerU, leftists demand." It's not about bans, it's about who to ban. Hat Hair's John Sexton, Lawsuits challenge DEI requirements at California Community Colleges. From the Free Bacon, American Bar Association Considers Crackdown On ‘Disruptive Conduct’ In Wake of Stanford Shout Down. "New accreditation standard would require law schools to ban behavior that ‘hinders free expression.'" From City Journal, Standing in the Schoolhouse Door "Harvard’s end run around the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions ruling may hasten the end of affirmative action." Ace. Law School Organization Holds Conference On How to Violate the Constitution and Evade the Law and Continue Practicing Hardcore Racial Discrimination "Of course. The law does not apply to the lawless left. They are the aristocracy. They make the law, they do not suffer it." Insty, LOL, CHRISTIANITY TODAY: Christianity Today wrote an article praising Barbie and Taylor Swift a day before it trashed Oliver Anthony as anti-biblical. Hoo boy do I have some thoughts. “Ah, so the Body of Christ – His Church, His Bride – is just like the Taylor Swift fan community, eh? What a take!” 

The Babylon Bee, Prince Immediately Regrets Waking Rachel Zegler With A Kiss After She Starts Ranting About The Patriarchy

According to local dwarves, the first thing Ms. Zegler did upon being saved from her catatonic state was to accuse the Prince of being a creepy stalker. "She let him have it," said Sleepy. "To be frank though, we dwarves are as mad at the Prince as she is. We've had peace and quiet ever since Ms. Zegler ate that poisoned apple - and now the Prince has gone and ruined it all. Ugh, I'm going back to bed."
