Activist Monica Lewinsky has stated that Judge Aileen Cannon, the judge overseeing former President Trump’s classified documents case should be impeached.

Far-left Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao raged during a press conference this week after federal law enforcement agents raided her home. More than a dozen agents entered the home late last week and removed a variety of items from the search, including paper boxes, clipboards, and large plastic tubs. Several other properties were also raided during the investigation that were connected to a politically influential family that runs the city’s curbside recycling program. “I want to be crystal clear: I have done nothing wrong,” she claimed in remarks to the media on Monday. “I can tell you with confidence that this investigation is not about me. I have not been charged with a crime, and I am confident that I will not be charged with a crime because I am innocent.” She demanded to know “what probable cause the FBI” had when they searched her home even though the authorities are legally not allowed to show the affidavit that supports the warrant, according to former FBI special agent Stuart Kaplan. “What evidence have they collected that justifies raiding the home of a sitting mayor without notice and without the courtesy of a conversation?” she asked. “I want to know more about the handful of billionaires from San Francisco and Piedmont who are hell-bent on running me out of office. I want to know why the day following the qualification of a recall election, funded by some of the richest people in the Bay Area, seemed like the right day to execute a warrant.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP She then claimed that “radical right-wing forces” were trying to take over Oakland by having her ousted via a criminal investigation. “I will not be bullied and I will not be disparaged and I will not be threatened out of this office,” she said.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that the Chinese are buying up farmland near U.S. Military bases so that they can have launch areas for drones to spy on the bases. Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson. “There were multiple Chinese spy balloons, and the Biden administration didn’t bother to tell anyone about them,” Cruz said. “Until finally some ranchers in Montana spotted this one and they got outed on the internet. Were it not for that, we wouldn’t even know about this one. They kept it secret that the Chinese had been sending spy balloons over U.S. airspace, over U.S. military bases. They’re engaged in active espionage against us.” “The Chinese are buying up land and they’re claiming they’re buying it up for farming or ranching, but it allows them to set up reconnaissance sites that allows them to install tracking technology, to use radar, to use infrared scanning, and to view the bases, and from there, to attempt to fly drones over the bases and engage in surveillance,” he later added. “And I gotta say, it is insane that we are allowing the Chinese to do this, this should be illegal, we should not allow the Chinese Communists to buy land anywhere near our bases.” He said that Democrats have resisted countering China’s buying up of land around U.S. Military bases because “today’s Democrat Party is structurally pro-China.” Cruz said that the party’s major stakeholders — big business, big tech, big Hollywood, big universities — are all in bed with China.

According to a recently unsealed court document, a trans-identifying Biden official was allegedly behind the push to remove age limits from the official care standards for transgender procedures. The document in question, unsealed as part of Boe v. Marshall — a case challenging the Alabama law banning certain gender transition-related treatments and procedures — was titled “Appendix A To Supplemental Expert Report Of James Cantor, Ph.D.” In the document, Cantor — a Canadian sex researcher — claimed that trans-identifying Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine pushed for the age restrictions to be removed from any official guidelines. “Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine strongly pressured WPATH leadership to rush the development and issuance of SOC-8, in order to assist with Administration political strategy,” Cantor wrote of the changes to World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care Version 8 — which omitted previous age recommendations. The document also included evidence — in the form of communications between WPATH members — that pointed back to Levine as the source of pressure. Most suggested that Levine, born Richard Levine, was pushing to do away with any age limits that could make it easier for states to restrict access to transition-related puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and even surgeries. “I have just spoken to Admiral Levine today, who—as always is extremely supportive of the SOC 8, but also very eager for its release—so to ensure integration in the US health policies of the Biden government. So, let’s crack on with the job!!!” one read. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Another stated, “I am meeting with Rachel Levine and her team next week, as the US Department of Health is very keen to bring the trans health agenda forward.” Sarah Boateng, who is Adm. Levine’s chief of staff [said the] biggest concern is the section below in the Adolescent Chapter that lists specific minimum ages for treatment, she is confident, based on the rhetoric she is hearing in DC, and from what we have already seen, that these specific listings of ages, under 18, will result in devastating legislation for trans care. She wonders if the specific ages can be taken out and perhaps an adjunct document could be created that is published or distributed in a way that is less visible than the SOC8, is the way to go. The issue of ages and treatment has been quite controversial (mainly for surgery) and it has come up again. We sent the document to Admiral Levine … She like [sic] the SOC-8 very much but she was very concerned that having ages (mainly for surgery) will affect access to health care for trans youth and maybe adults too. Apparently the situation in the USA is terrible and she and the Biden administration worried that having ages in the document will make matters worse. The WPATH members reportedly responded to Levine’s concerns by saying that it was too late in the game to make such changes, but somehow, when the new guidelines were published, the age recommendations had been omitted.

'A threat'

'And the purpose of it is obviously political'

If Democrats seek to swap out President Joe Biden for another candidate on the Nov. 5 ballot, they’ll face legal challenges, according to an analysis by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project.  That’s because a patchwork of state laws determines what a political party must do to substitute someone else as a presidential nominee.  “If there is a freezing moment or something very consequential that happens at the debate, the likelihood goes up,” Mike Howell, executive director of the Oversight Project, told reporters Tuesday.  https://t.co/ifTNCjpRVD— Oversight Project (@OversightPR) June 24, 2024 CNN will host a 90-minute debate Thursday night between Biden and former President Donald Trump.  “There is not a political exception that if you’ve been trying to cover up the fact that your candidate has been declining rapidly to the extent that you are even invoking executive privilege to hide an audio tape … you just get to supersede all of the election integrity rules that exist in the various states,” Howell told reporters.  Special counsel Rober Hur’s report on Biden’s possession of classified documents from his years as vice president and senator characterized him as “elderly” and “struggling” with memory loss. The Biden administration invoked executive privilege to block release of audio recordings of his two interviews last fall with the special counsel. The Oversight Project is part of a multiparty lawsuit by CNN and other news outlets, as well as watchdog groups, to access the audio recordings of the Biden interviews.  More recently, Biden had a wandering incident at the G7 summit in Italy and also appeared to freeze onstage at the end of a Los Angeles fundraiser and be physically guided away by former President Barack Obama (who Biden served as vice president for eight years).  If delegates to the Democratic National Convention were to nominate another candidate for president in August, it might not affect relevant state laws, said Sam Dewey, counsel for Heritage’s Oversight Project.  “There are two separate questions. One is who gets the party’s nomination. The second is ballot access,” Dewey told reporters. “You can be nominated by a party and not necessarily have access to a ballot. We are seeing that right now with attempts by the DNC to keep Robert Kennedy, RFK Jr., off the ballot. It’s separate. Just being nominated by a party doesn’t get you on a ballot.” Dewey continued:  Even if at the convention, superdelegates and a bunch of [other] delegates get together and said, ‘We’re not doing this, we’re subbing in the vice president [for Biden], we’re subbing in Hillary Clinton,’ pick whomever, that wouldn’t at all speak to what [our] memo was addressing, which was access to ballots. That’s an entirely different question. If someone drops out, that frequently is litigated.   The Oversight Project sent a memo on substituting candidates to top election officials in all 50 states for their review.  Battleground states such as Georgia and Nevada have procedures under which a presidential candidate may withdraw from the balllot. Wisconsin allows it to occur only in case of death, according to the memo.  “Important caveats include the timeline and triggering events,” the Oversight Project’s memo says, adding: For example, some states allow withdrawal before the 74th day before an election, and failure to adhere to these timelines can result in the candidate’s name remaining on the ballot (which provides its own corollary of post-election litigation).  Likewise, the rationale for withdrawal (death, medical, or other) can be outcome determinative. Some states, like South Carolina, do not allow withdrawal for political reasons. Limited case law exists on swapping out political candidates on a ballot, the memo notes. And at least 31 states defer to state or national party rules and nominating committees in the event of a candidate’s withdrawal. “These states circumvent the substitution process highlighted above,” the Oversight Project’s memo says. “There may be some avenues for challenges to these laws on improper delegation grounds, however, these may be marginally beneficial.” For its part, the Biden White House has denied that the president has had any mental or physical problems barring his seeking a second four-year term. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argued that recent videos unflattering to Biden were “cheap fakes.” First lady Jill Biden has said her husband is a great president “because” of his age.
