Flotsam and Jetsam - Prosecutor Attempts to Justify not Helping Weiss Prosecute Hunter, Fails

The Israeli-Hamas war (and it is now officially a war, as Israel has declared it) is proceeding along the usual course, with reports of horrific deeds by Hamas, barely acknowledged by the world press and even justified and even celebrated by Israel's detractors on the left, and word that Israel is preparing to enter Gaza in force. Of course, more bad things will inevitably occur to civilians in Gaza as a result of urban warfare, and Israel's enemies will seize on the opportunity. Meanwhile, here at home Biden Admin's Lies About Aid to Gaza Are Totally Unbelievable (Spencer Brown at TownHall). Matt Margolis at PJM, Is This Proof the White House Has Been Lying About Iran and the Hamas Attack? I dunno? Are their mouths moving? Hat Hair's Dave Strom details how Trump killed funding for Palestinian-"relief" organizations; Biden reinstated it. I&I thinks Woke Bidenites Have Israeli (And American) Blood On Their Hands and asks Did Biden’s Policy To Isolate Israel Lead To Hamas’ Deadly Attack? NYPo's Michael Goodwin claims Joe Biden pulls punches on antisemitism, Iran in speech on Hamas terrorJoe Concha @JoeConchaTV, "This is the most newsworthy sounbite out of his press conference. Why won't Sullivan just say that we are refreezing the assets? Townhall.com@townhallcom "Jake Sullivan refuses to say whether or not Biden will seek to re-freeze $6 billion in assets for Iran." Nicole Russel at HE says the Biden administration response to Israeli crisis shows they aren't capable of defending us. The Free Bacon points out Iran Has Made $80 Billion in Illicit Oil Sales Since Biden Took Office. Da Caller points out Biden Admin Has Issued Lowest Amount Of Offshore Oil Permits In Almost 20 Years. At Fox, Biden's depletion of emergency oil stocks comes back into focus amid Israel-Hamas war, price surge. TNP notes Biden Has Let Over 70,000 Illegals From Muslim Countries into U.S. in 2 Years, all carefully vetted, I'm sure. /sarc. Leslie Eastman at LI, Biden’s National Security Spokesman Asserts Climate Change More Existential Threat than Nuclear War. At the Wombat's  Annual Admiral of the Ocean Sea Appreciation Post, Twitchy, Obama bro Tommy Vietor whines about Israel cutting off Gaza’s power

Jonathan Turley is less than satisfied with the efforts of the Special Counsel looking into Biden's classified document theft, The Neutron Prosecutor: How Special Counsel Hur May Prove the Ultimate Punchline in Washington. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair comments "One thing is clear: Hur has wrapped up the investigation. Unless Biden’s testimony points the special counsel in a fresh direction, the interview of the target is usually the last event before a charge/no-charge decision. In fact, that may not be much of a question, since the special counsel has to abide by DoJ policy, which says that a sitting president cannot be indicted. Of more interest will be Hur’s report, which probably will come right out of the Pointer Sisters’ song — some things never change, and it’s hard to find any strength to draw the line."

Da Caller reports Biden-Appointed Prosecutor Refused To Cooperate On Potentially Charging Hunter Biden, Testimony Confirms.  “And you decided not to join their investigation” one committee member stated. “That is correct,” Graves said, according to the transcript. “So I unfortunately cannot get into the why without getting into the case specifics of an ongoing investigation.” Margot Cleveland at Da Fed thinks the Testimony Of D.C. U.S. Attorney Who Declined To Prosecute Hunter Biden Raises Huge Red Flag. Madeleine Hubbard at JTN reports the U.S. Attorney declines to name those involved in decision not to prosecute Hunter Biden, "Graves said he never felt a need to recuse himself from being involved in the case involving President Joe Biden's son even though he worked on the president's campaign."

Ace, Documents: DOJ Stopped Any Investigation Into "Political Figure One," Also Known as Joe Biden or "The Big Guy". "Isn't it strange that the Biden Crime Family resorts to naming its Boss with pseudonyms and vague allusions just like La Cosa Nostra Crime Families?" Jordan Boyd at Da Fed  reports As VP, Joe Biden Emailed His Brother And Son About Foreign Business More Than 29,000 Times  At Da Caller, Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential Office Exchanged Nearly 20,000 Emails With Hunter Biden’s Investment Firm, AFL Says. PM, Joe Biden emailed businesses associated with Hunter, Jim Biden 29,000 times while VP. That's a lot of weather reports. Ace, Joe Biden's "Younger" Brother Frank Confirms That a Naked Selfie of Himself That Is Now Appearing on a Gay Dating Site Is Legit. "He says the photo is real, but denies that he posted it on the gay dating site. He says he's been #Hacked!, presumably by RUSSIAN AGENTS. 51 "Intelligence" Officials will soon inform us that the Dic-Pic has "all the hallmarks of Russian Lemon Party Selfies." Sure does happen a lot with this family."

Politico whines Biden Won’t Directly Address the Age Issue. From Althouse "[Kamala Harris] has remained a vacuum of negative space, a vessel for supporters and detractors to fill as they choose, not least because she refuses to do so herself." "'My career, for the most part, has not been one of being focused on giving lovely speeches or trying to pass a bill,' Harris said to me.... 'And so that’s how I approach public policy. I’m probably oriented to think about, What does this actually mean, as opposed to how does this just sound?' Harris has leaned on this sentiment for years.... It reflects a figure who is fundamentally uncomfortable with having to make an affirmative case for herself to the public — and feels she shouldn’t have to...." And we don't feel like we need to vote for you, either.

 Am Con  on the Grapple for the Gavel 2.0 "Is the former wrestler poised to take down Kevin McCarthy’s heir apparent? The American Conservative spoke to House Republicans on what they’re looking for in the next Speaker of the House." Nicholas Ballasy at JTN reports a High stakes House speaker election underway between Jordan and Scalise "Multiple GOP lawmakers said there was no clear frontrunner after the two candidates made their pitches at a candidate forum on Tuesday before the House GOP conference." Da Caller, Jim Jordan, Steve Scalise Rack Up Endorsements Ahead Of Speaker Election. At Da Fetched, Jim Jordan Reveals What His First Move Would Be as If Elected House Speaker, “To help the state of Israel.” Jeff Lord at Am Spec thinks Kevin McCarthy Is No Conservative "He’s the GOP’s socialist ratcheteer," preventing Democrat gains from being reversed. Stacy McCain reminds us Politics Is a Team Sport, "Saturday evening on The Other Podcast, I found myself ranting furiously about the idiots who decided that what the conservative movement needed was for eight House Republicans to join the Democrats and vote the GOP Speaker out of office. It prompted me to invoke Casey Stengel who, frustrated by the ineptitude of the 1962 Mets, asked, “Can’t anybody here play this game?” Hopefully they can get their shit together and elect someone today (I doubt it). I generally think Scalise is a better cat herder, and think Jordan is better at questioning Democrats on committees. 

Consult Polls Tracking the 2024 Republican Primary find "Trump posts record-high primary support." 61%  Paul Bedard at WaEx reports Trump wins generic vote big, 30% Democrats back him. I wonder about that last figure. Also Romney-Ryan network revives to influence 2024 election. The axis of ineffective. Atop Da Summit, “A Real Trend”: Trump Now Ahead Of Biden In Key Battleground States According To Polls, but the mail-in ballots haven't been counted yet. Hat Hair's KT,  Will Who? abandons GOP primary, disses DeSantis, endorses Haley. Da Caller reports GOP Candidate Drops Out, Endorses Nikki Haley For President, never to be Hurd from again.

At Da Fed, Shawn Fleetwood reports North Carolina Republicans Override Democrat Governor’s Dishonest Veto Of Election Integrity Bills and How Bad Was The D.C. ‘Voter Records’ Hack? Election Officials Enlist Feds Because They Still Don’t Know

At WaEx, Jack Smith seeks extra juror protections, citing Trump using 'social media as a weapon.' Prosecutors said the request was based on Trump's propensity for publicizing issues he has had with various prosecutors, court officials, and others involved in his cases. Trump frequently berates his targets with criticisms and insults on his social media platform Truth Social."

At his NYPo gig, Insty warns Israel’s intelligence failure is a warning for America’s politicized agencies "We know what the Israeli intelligence agencies weren’t doing, which is getting warning of the attack. So what were they doing? Well, one thing was organizing protests against Netanyahu, in opposition to his party’s platform of reform aimed at Israel’s Supreme Court." Speaking of politicized intelligence agencies, Hat Hair's KT reports Hayden doubles down on "MAGAnuts" reaction to his call for senator's assassination. Mary Chastain at LI, Ex-CIA Director Stands By Statement That Sen. Tuberville Should be Removed From the ‘Human Race’ "Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?" From Da Caller, GOP Senator Refers Former CIA Director To Capitol Police Over Tweet About Removing Him From ‘Human Race’ who will, of course, do nothing.

Stacy McCain notes Noah Berlatsky, Who Seems to Be OK With Pedophiles, Sure Does Hate Republicans. Hat Hair's Jazz Shaw claims a Women's lacrosse coach driven was from her job over "transphobia" claims. TNP reports Pro-Trans Lobbyists Endorse Joe Biden, of course. From the College Fix, University continues female-only awards despite signing legal agreement to include all genders. ESPN cited at Hat Hair has the sads that the NHL bans LGBTQ+ uniform or equipment markers; Pride Tape hardest hit

At Campus Reform, American Library Association president says libraries, public schools need to be ‘sites of socialist organizing’ "Emily Drabinski made the remarks at the world’s largest socialism conference held in September in Chicago, according to Borysenko’s reporting." PJM's Chris Queen asks Who's Banning Whom? "What’s downright laughable about the “banned books” narrative is that leftists always want to throw “To Kill a Mockingbird” in the mix — as if “The Hate U Give” and “Genderqueer” can hold Harper Lee’s water. But what’s truly funny is that the left is who tried to cancel “To Kill a Mockingbird” in the past."
