President Joe Biden, who has stayed quiet on presumptive Republican Party nominee Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial, is planning on giving a public address after the jury reaches a verdict, POLITICO reported. The outlet cited “four people familiar with internal deliberations” in the Biden administration who said the president will likely address the hush-money verdict from the White House, not at a campaign event, to avoid the appearance of Biden making a political statement on the trial’s outcome. Trump’s hush-money trial is nearing its end after weeks of arguments and testimonies as closing arguments are slated for Tuesday. “This is an important moment and the president first and foremost needs to stress that the American system works, even and especially in an election year,” said one of the four people familiar with internal discussions who was granted anonymity. “And in a measured way, it becomes part of his argument against Trump too: Do Americans really want this?” The former president is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to his alleged hush-money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied the charges brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The leftist district attorney charged Trump years after federal prosecutors ended their investigation into Trump’s alleged hush-money payments without bringing any charges in 2019. POLITICO reported that if the jury finds Trump guilty, Biden’s team will argue that the former president is not suited to be elected to another term. Biden is still planning on addressing the verdict even if the jury acquits his political rival, according to the people familiar with the discussions, but they added that those plans could change. If Trump makes it past the Manhattan criminal trial without being convicted, Biden’s team is reportedly preparing for a barrage of outrage from Trump, his supporters, and other potential voters who have argued that the legal system is being used to target the presidential candidate to keep him off the campaign trail. Early on Saturday morning, Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to blast Biden and Bragg, arguing that the Manhattan criminal trial is “election interference.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “The City of New York’s D.A., Alvin Bragg, is trying to prosecute a Federal case, which cannot be done, and where there is NO CRIME, that has been turned down by everyone, including the Federal Elections Commission, SDNY, the D.A.’s Office, and Bragg himself – Until I announced that I was running for President,” Trump wrote. “This case could have been brought 7 years ago, but wasn’t. It is another Crooked Joe Biden Election Interference Hoax!”

Canadian country star TEBEY went viral for his cover of Weeknd’s Blinding Lights in March, and people are getting a second wind of it two months later. The 40-year-old put a fresh spin on the pop hit when he released it on YouTube on March 8th. His slowed-down beat and smooth southern voice gave the formerly upbeat single a love ballad feel that fans couldn’t resist. The singer’s original fame came with an animated lyric video created by Conan Karpinski. It has wracked up close to 900K views and thousands of shares. Earlier this month, TEBEY posted an official music video of Blinding Lights on YouTube, and it’s quickly nearing another 100K views. Fans Praise TEBEY’s Country Cover Of “Blinding Lights” “Absolutely love this version,” a fan wrote on YouTube. “Bravo Tebey Bravo.” “As a millennial that grew up on country, this is the most confident I’ve felt in the genre in a WHILE,” another gushed. “Love this song, perfect to sing along to while driving, windows down, volume up, I’m there already!!!” said a pleased country fan. “I genuinely believe this is the way this song was meant to be…you made it perfect!!” someone commented. The cover has also gained traction overseas. One commenter shared that they heard it “on the radio in France, thanks to a Belgian radio Classic 21, in the program Route 66.” “As soon as I got home, I looked to hear this version again,” they added. “Very very very very pleasant!” While it is available on streaming apps, TEBEY hasn’t released the cover as an official single. But despite that, it still managed to hit the Canadian Country charts. The Weeknd released Blinding Lights in 2019, and it went on to win several awards before TEBEY gave it a country renovation. The original artist also has his own country spin that has taken fans by storm. You can watch that here. This story’s featured image is by Jeremy Chan/Getty Images.

Suing a Video Game Company Over a School Shooting

The conservative reaction to the freakout over Justice Samuel Alito’s flags has been to argue that this is a phony scandal ginned up by liberals and journalists (but we repeat ourselves) to delegitimize the Supreme Court. A Saturday report from the Washington Post appears to confirm those beliefs, as Justin Jouvenal and Ann Marimow reported that the Post passed on the story in 2021. The duo began, “The wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. told a Washington Post reporter in January 2021 that an upside down American flag recently flown on their flagpole was ‘an international signal of distress’ and indicated that it had been raised in response to a neighborhood dispute.” They also report that the Post, at the time, saw no reason to view the upside flag as being connected to sympathy for the January 6 rioters and the belief that Samuel and Martha-Ann are different people, “The Post decided not to report on the episode at the time because the flag-raising appeared to be the work of Martha-Ann Alito, rather than the justice, and connected to a dispute with her neighbors, a Post spokeswoman said. It was not clear then that the argument was rooted in politics, the spokeswoman said.” Back in 2021, since-retired Supreme Court reporter Robert Barnes went to the Alito home where “the justice denied the flag was hung upside down as a political protest, saying it stemmed from a neighborhood dispute and indicating that his wife had raised it.” Jouvenal and Marimow further recall Martha-Ann imploring Barnes to ‘“Ask them what they did!’ She said yard signs about the couple had been placed in the neighborhood. After getting back in the car, she exited again and then brought out from their residence a novelty flag, the type that would typically decorate a garden. She hoisted it up the flagpole. ‘There! Is that better?’ she yelled.” They also note Alito’s statement to the Post back then was “almost identical” to what he told The New York Times when the story broke. The rest of the article is spent giving biographical details on the Alitos or rehashing the liberal case that Alito did something wrong and should recuse himself from all January 6-related cases, even going so far as to get former federal judge Nancy Gertner, the words "Clinton-appointed" being nowhere to be found, to imply Alito was lying, “The ‘notion that [Justice Alito] let it happen or didn’t pay attention is extraordinary,’ Gertner said. ‘He understood the context. They were having a political battle, and this was a political statement.’”  In 2021, the Post saw nothing newsworthy in the case of the Alitos’ upside down flag, but in 2024, they threw themselves under the bus in order to fall in line with the rest of the media trying to make something into a bigger deal than it is.
