After securing the majority of seats in Sunday's election, the newly formed left-wing government in France has revealed plans to impose a ninety percent tax on its “wealthier” citizens.

The music was grand, introductions were dramatic, and Joe Biden can still read off the teleprompter. Sometimes, he reads like he’s on fire. Other times, he’s incoherent. Why do people praise him for reading off a teleprompter? Our enemies are laughing at us. All That Matters Is Ukraine Biden announced plans to supply new air […] The post Huge Success at NATO: Biden Read His Speech Off a Teleprompter appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) turned President Joe Biden’s defense of his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump against him this week. Following Biden’s debate against Trump two weeks ago — which has sparked calls by members of his own party to drop out of the race — Biden claimed: “I had a bad debate, but 90 minutes on stage does not erase what I’ve done for three and a half years.” Barrasso responded to Biden’s remarks during a press conference on Wednesday, telling reporters: “Well, he’s right. Nothing can erase the damage that the Democrats have done to the American people over the last three and a half years. They’re the party of open borders and they’re the party of high prices.” “With regards to prices, they have saddled the American people with record inflation,” he said. “It has been painful. It’s been punishing. Prices are up cumulatively 20% since they took over in January of 2021. In terms of immigration, they have invited and they have incentivized 10 million illegal immigrants to come to this country. They’ve paved the way for criminal cartels, for drug dealers, for people on the terrorist watch list to come here to rob and to rape and to murder Americans.” “That is their record. And that’s why in record numbers, Americans are saying the country is headed in the wrong direction,” he continued. “And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and every one of the Democrats, those that are gonna be up here speaking soon, they are all responsible for the damage that has been done. The American people want strong leadership. We’re not gonna get it from the Democrats. We cannot trust the Democrats to keep us safe or make us more prosperous. It is their policies that have caused the pain.” He said that in order to turn the country around, Democrats needed to vote with Republicans to stop reckless spending, secure the border, and unleash American energy production. WATCH: .@POTUS says he had a bad night. The truth is that Democrats have had a bad 3 years. They've saddled us with record inflation and an extra 10 million illegal immigrants since they took over in 2020. Americans want leadership we can trust, not another 4 years of “bad nights.” pic.twitter.com/Y0md3RCAcj — Sen. John Barrasso (@SenJohnBarrasso) July 9, 2024

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said during a press conference this week that he believes that Vice President Kamala Harris and the rest of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet should use the 25th Amendment to remove Biden because of his apparent cognitive decline. “If I were in the Biden Cabinet … would I be mulling over the 25th Amendment, applying the Fourth Clause of the 25th Amendment, which has never before been employed in that way?” he asked at the press conference. “And I answered honestly, ‘Yes,’ I would,” he said. “In good conscience, if I was in the Biden Cabinet, I would be wrestling with that question because I would know what we all know now, that Joe Biden is not up to the task and it’s a dangerous situation for the reasons we articulated earlier.” “So, there’s a time to every purpose under Heaven, desperate times call for desperate measures, I think the 25th Amendment is appropriate here,” he continued. “We all know that the House doesn’t have the authority to do that, it’s the vice president of the United States that has to initiate that process. We don’t have any involvement unless there’s a disagreement between the president and what the vice president and the Cabinet decide.” Johnson said that he thinks that if most Americans knew how the 25th Amendment worked that they would believe that it is appropriate to use in this situation. “I’m under no illusion that they’re going to do that,” he concluded. “But if I were in the Cabinet and … any of us were in the Cabinet, we would have to honestly say that that’s something we’d have to wrestle with.” WATCH: Speaker Mike Johnson says the 25th Amendment is appropriate for Biden. pic.twitter.com/5ca1OJwU1a — Robert Gouveia Esq.
