Neighbors reported being shocked when the protesters began banging drums and and shouting pro-Hamas, anti-Jewish hate slogans outside the home of Rep. Brad Schneider at around 3 AM on Saturday morning. They were demanding that Schneider ‘re-fund’ the Hamas-controlled UNRWA in Gaza, recently defunded by Congress, and end what they allege to be the US-backed […]

Muslim Americans are telling Joe Biden to leave the race, and Israel’s very deeply concerned about the state of his mind. The media wants him to go. He was reportedly at Camp David to discuss quitting with his family. The White House denied the story. However, the New York Times said that is what they’re […] The post Jill Biden Won’t Let Joe Drop Out of the Race appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Even as reports circulated that President Joe Biden was set to spend the weekend reevaluating his 2024 presidential campaign, another report suggested any such confab would have to wait until after the family photo shoot with famed Vogue photographer Annie Leibovitz. The New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers posted an update on X, noting that the photo shoot had been specifically set for this particular weekend in order to accommodate the now-convicted First Son Hunter Biden and his family. “Camp David: Biden family spent morning not having a summit but in hair and makeup for a shoot with Annie Leibovitz, Vogue photog who shot Biden/Obama/Clinton in March then suggested doing something informal with the Bidens,” Rogers posted. “Family suggested this week, bc Hunter & family in town.” Camp David: Biden family spent morning not having a summit but in hair and makeup for a shoot with Annie Leibovitz, Vogue photog who shot Biden/Obama/Clinton in March then suggested doing something informal with the Bidens.

In light of the fact that the date had reportedly been chosen to accommodate Hunter Biden and his family, a number also asked whether Navy Joan — Hunter’s daughter with former stripper Lunden Roberts — would be included. “Love that we have to have these Succession-like charades so that corrupt political dynasties can decide in hair and makeup whether millions of people get to live,” one posted.

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) defended President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance during an interview over the weekend, claiming that Biden has a hard time getting a “word out” because he is a “stutterer.” Clyburn made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with co-host Dana Bash. The 83-year-old excused Biden’s “bad performance” by claiming: “I have been a part of debate preparation before, and I know when I see what I call preparation overload. And that’s exactly what was going on the other night.” “I saw Joe Biden grabbing for words and phrases and even numbers that he was loaded up with,” he claimed. He said that he believes that Biden should “very clearly he should stay in this race”, even though new polling released on Sunday by CBS News found that only 27% of voters believe that he has the mental fitness to continue serving as president. “Joe Biden has a history of stuttering. He did that as a child. All of us know how stutterers operate. I went to school with one,” he said. “So, when you have trouble getting out a word, that is what comes from stuttering. But when he expressed opinions, he was on the money with the opinions. He may not have gotten the word out, but the thoughts were great.” WATCH:

A “deeper investigation” is needed for looking into the infamous letter used to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop story weeks before the 2020 presidential election as crimes may have been committed, a top official from the Trump administration said on Sunday. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who was joined by former House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA), spoke to “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News about the revelation last week that some of the former  officials who signed the letter were on the CIA‘s payroll at the time. “The CIA is supposed to be apolitical and is charged by law under the Hatch Act and other restrictions from engaging in political activity,” he said. “What made this letter OK from one perspective early on was all of the assertions that these were former officials acting in their private capacity.” Ratcliffe continued, “Now the CIA has admitted, and there’s testimony here, that at least some of these individuals were under contract with the CIA, which means Hatch Act violations and perhaps more serious criminal violations under Title 18 for election interference.” House investigators found that two of the 51 signatories — former Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell and former CIA Inspector General David Buckley — were actively working for the CIA as contractors when the statement was published. The “revelation raises concerns that these officials may have abused their positions to expedite the statement’s approval and may have been earning taxpayer dollars while they did it,” the Weaponization of the Federal Government panel said in a report. In response to the findings, a CIA spokesperson insisted that the former officials were “not speaking for” the agency. And the report noted that Hatch Act political restrictions do not apply to contractors in the same way they do to CIA employees, though it proposed that lawmakers consider whether to extend the prohibition to contractors. Ratcliffe said the House “has done some good work here” but added that the laptop controversy “really requires a deeper investigation, one that the Biden administration won’t undertake.” He went on to suggest his former boss, Donald Trump, could make that happen if he wins a second term in November. “What has to happen here, Maria, is that when President Trump is sworn into office, a new CIA director, a new CIA inspector general, and a new attorney general for a Trump administration need a deeper investigation and potential criminal referrals here,” he explained. “And the other thing I would say is, regardless of how all of this plays out, all of those former officials and current officials that were involved in orchestrating this should be irrevocably and permanently stripped of any security clearances or affiliation with the intelligence community,” Ratcliffe said. He added, “Look, you know, Maria, that we have what’s called a debarment list where we put companies and individuals that defraud the government on a list and say, ‘You’re a bad actor, you can’t be affiliated or do business with the government anymore.’ That needs to take place with these officials so this kind of political interference can’t occur anymore.”
