It’s always amazing when liberal Democrats who pride themselves on their scintillating intellect act so uneducated when it’s time to rally around the Democrat in trouble. On Sunday’s This Week‚ ABC host Jonathan Karl and his Democrat legal expert Preet Bharara needed Republican legal expert Sarah Isgur to explain the obvious about why special counsel Robert Hur would suggest President Biden was too mentally challenged to stand trial for improperly taking classified documents before he was president. First‚ Karl repeated ABC's slimy habit in the introductions: “Sarah Isgur is the former spokesperson for the Justice Department during the Trump administration and is now a senior editor at The Dispatch. Preet Bharara is the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.” Notice the bias by omission by Pierre Thomas‚ as if the Democrats are nonpartisans on Trump matters: "Joining us now are former [OBAMA-appointed] U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York‚ Preet Bharara‚ and former TRUMP Justice Department spokesperson Sarah Isgur." pic.twitter.com/PxWqK6657n — Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) December 26‚ 2023 A fair and balanced journalist would note Isgur’s Trump link…and Bharara being appointed U.S. Attorney by President Obama in 2009‚ where he served for eight years. Karl could have noted Preetinder’s a campaign donor of John Kerry‚ Barack Obama‚ and Joe Biden. Instead‚ they subtly hint the panel is Republican vs. Nonpartisan. Noting Isgur’s at The Dispatch – formed in opposition to Trump – implies she’s not a MAGA pundit. But no one thinks ABC would routinely turn to a pro-Trump contributor. The imbalance even continues in the ABC transcript:  Karl asked Bharara simply if the special counsel made the "right call." Bharara then unloaded the Biden talking points‚ that some "vast majority" of legal experts thought the mental-fitness notes were "gratuitous."  PREET BHARARA: What I don't think is correct‚ and I think the vast majority of legal experts agree with me on this‚ is the gratuitous‚ superfluous statements about his memory‚ not as it relates to the particular case or the facts relating to the handling of the classified documents‚ but as it relates to other things‚ including memory about the particular date and precise date of his son's death. That had no place in this document. It makes no sense for this to be in this document. He complained‚ "It’s a weird landscape were in where Donald Trump gets credibly charged in four charging documents‚ four indictments around the country‚ and that's a political boon for him. And Joe Biden‚ on the other hand‚ this week gets exonerated in a document‚ and it's a political nightmare for him. Something is upside down." Isgur then calmly explained to the apparent dummies that Hur cited Biden's mental capacity to suggest he wouldn't prosecute because a jury wouldn't convict someone of "willfully detaining" classified material if he wasn't‚ er‚ sharp:  SARAH ISGUR: Look‚ as you said‚ they found evidence that he willfully retained national security information. And even probably beyond a reasonable doubt. But the justice manual says that that's not enough even if you can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. You have to believe‚ as the prosecutor‚ that you can get a conviction from a jury. So‚ why that information was included was because he's explaining to the attorney general in that report why he believes a jury would not convict Joe Biden even if they could probably prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. KARL: But how does him allegedly not knowing the year his son died‚ how is that relevant? ISGUR: Because the mental state that's required -- it has to be willful‚ right? So‚ they found evidence that he knew there were classified documents in his basement for instance‚ but if he can tell a jury‚ like‚ yeah‚ I guess I knew that day but then I forgot the next day‚ then he didn't willfully retain the classified documents. Karl then asked Isgur if she thinks the transcripts of Biden's interviews with Hur will be made public. She said chances are "pretty high." Karl asked Bharara if Kamala Harris should have criticized Hur for being political. Bharara‚ like a good Democrat‚ said "I'm not going to judge her." Their talking points align. 

New York City protesters who block traffic could be charged with “domestic terrorism” under a new proposed bill‚ the New York Post reported Saturday.Democratic Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato recently introduced legislation‚ A.8951‚ which would make it a domestic act of terrorism‚ a class D felony‚ to block public roads‚ bridges‚ transportation facilities‚ and tunnels. Offenders could face a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.Amato introduced the bill in response to a recent increase in anti-Israel protests that have obstructed traffic along the Brooklyn Bridge and other heavily trafficked areas. The legislation argued that blocking commuters could have dangerous consequences.“The U.S. Constitution enshrines our right to freely assemble‚ which is a beautiful cornerstone of our democracy. However‚ when those who protest directly hinder the ability for pedestrians and motorists to freely move‚ impacting their ability to arrive at a location‚ or seek aid‚ that is unacceptable. The purposeful blocking of bridges‚ tunnels and road-ways which results in cars being stopped‚ sick people not being able to get medical attention‚ or any attempt to prevent innocent people from getting from Point A to Point B is not appropriate or fair - in fact it is flat out dangerous‚” the legislation stated.“This bill would create a new section of law that when a person (or persons) deliberately block a bridge‚ tunnel or public road‚ they are engaging in an act of domestic terrorism‚ which shall be deemed a class D felony. While people have the right to protest‚ they do not have the right to cause fear‚ panic and put the lives of other people in danger‚” it added.Last month‚ anti-Israel demonstrators blocked the entrances to the Holland Tunnel and three East River bridges‚ ABC News reported. According to New York Police Department Chief of Patrol John Chell‚ 325 people were arrested.“In lieu of summons‚ many protesters will face misdemeanor charges with a desk appearance ticket‚” Chell stated.Republican candidate Tom Sullivan is running to replace Amato. The assemblywoman defeated Sullivan in 2022 by just 15 votes. Republican Councilwoman Joann Ariola warned that Amato’s new bill could be an attempt to win over more conservative voters. “[The bill] sounds great‚ but let’s just hope this isn’t the legislative version of a photo op. Well meaning‚ but no substance and all for show‚” Ariola told the Post.Democratic Assemblyman Sam Berger is currently the bill’s only co-sponsor.“This is a matter of public safety‚” Amato said‚ according to the Rockaway Times. “There are procedures for people to organize and protest‚ and I fully support someone getting a permit and making their voice heard. However‚ you cannot just unlawfully assemble in an area and hinder someone’s ability to get from Point A to Point B. What if an emergency vehicle needed to get through? This flippant disregard for others is not acceptable and there needs to be accountability for actions.”In a post on X‚ Amato called for a New York City judge to be removed following the judge’s decision not to detain several illegal migrants who were recently accused of brutally assaulting two NYPD officers.Like Blaze News?

President Joe Biden's personal attorney repeatedly attacked special counsel Robert Hur's report on Sunday but did not immediately support releasing the transcripts of Biden's interviews with Hur.Democrats are outraged that Hur described Biden as an "elderly man with a poor memory" in his report. Specifically‚ Hur's critics assert that the special counsel included superfluous and gratuitous details in the report‚ such as Biden forgetting when his son Beau died and forgetting when he was vice president.On CBS' "Face the Nation‚" Biden's personal attorney‚ Bob Bauer — whose wife is senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn — attacked Hur's report as a "shabby work product" that contains "factual misstatements" and "pejorative comments" that Bauer claimed "are inconsistent with DOJ policy and norms."The strong comments may be compelling because Bauer attended Biden's interviews with Hur. But his commentary immediately began to crumble when host Margaret Brennan started asking questions.At first‚ Brennan asked Bauer if the president had "problems recalling details" in the interviews with Hur. Bauer‚ however‚ did not directly answer the question‚ instead saying that Biden "gave his best recollection" to the questions. After Bauer then confirmed that transcripts of Biden's interviews do exist‚ Brennan asked an important question that undercut Bauer's narrative."Do you favor releasing them?" she asked of the transcripts."Well‚ it's really a decision that has to take place within the government. It's a classified document‚" Bauer responded."Would you recommend that these be made public if they indeed back up your personal recollection?" Brennan followed up."Again‚ there's a process under way. I'm not a specialist in that process. And so I really have to defer to those who have to work through those issues‚" Bauer deflected. If‚ as the president's defenders claim‚ the details about Biden's memory were unfair and unethical‚ why not demand that the transcripts be released?It's true that the interviews contain classified information. But those details can easily be redacted from the transcripts. Appealing to classified information within the transcripts‚ then‚ is a deflection. Either the transcripts show that Biden could not recall basic details about his life or they don't. And if the transcripts confirm what Hur reported‚ then his report is not a "shabby work product‚" as Bauer claimed‚ but a truth-telling document that shows Hur refused to bow to political pressure.In fact‚ Bauer does not dispute the truthfulness of Hur's report. Rather‚ he is upset that Hur included details about Biden's memory in the report. That's an important distinction.But as former U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg explained‚ details about Biden's memory were critical to Hur's report because the special counsel needed to explain why he is not prosecuting Biden despite finding ample evidence that Biden broke the law."It doesn't make sense to me that if I'm telling the attorney general of the United States why someone ought not to be prosecuted that I wouldn't also tell him exactly why I came to that conclusion‚" Rosenberg said last Friday.White House spokesman Ian Sams said on Friday that officials would consider seeking the release of a redacted version of the Biden transcripts.Like Blaze News?

A violent altercation broke out in a Las Vegas casino Sunday night after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers for their second straight Super Bowl win. A group of four men‚ including Chiefs and 49ers fans‚ can be seen in a video wrestling with each other in an open area of a casino. At one point in the video‚ one man is put in a headlock and punched by a second individual while someone else tries to break up the fight.The New York Post reported that it is not known what caused the fight‚ but it started just after the final whistle of the Super Bowl game‚ when the Chiefs claimed a 25-22 victory over San Francisco. — (@) However‚ there was plenty of tension on the football field Sunday night. Travis Kelce — who has become even more well known for dating Taylor Swift — went into a rage and shoved Chiefs head coach Andy Reid after being taken off the field.Though it is unknown specifically what Kelce said‚ it appeared he was angry and frustrated with Reid's play call. Not only did he yell at the head coach‚ he seemed to knock Reid off-balance‚ according to Page Six.The situation was calmed after running back Jerick McKinnon intervened and ushered Kelce away. Kelce was pulled off the field right after Patrick Mahomes completed a 52-yard pass to Mecole Hardman‚ which set the Chiefs up for a prime scoring opportunity on San Francisco's 9-yard line.However‚ it appeared the two made up following the Chiefs' victory. Kelce could be seen giving Reid a hug after the final whistle‚ and Reid patted his player on the back.Reid said: "As much as he bumps into me‚ I bump into him. He caught me off-balance.”Kelce tried to play off the awkward situation caught on camera‚ saying‚ "I was just telling him how much I love him." Kelce now has three Super Bowl rings with Mahomes‚ which some have suggested is the start of a dynasty in Kansas City.Kelce commented on what his team thought after the 49ers were forced to kick a field goal in overtime‚ saying: "Never a doubt in my mind. We knew when they had to kick a field goal it was on us. We have the best quarterback in the league. We have the best offensive mind in the league. We’ve got the most determination of any team in the NFL‚ and you saw all of that today.”Like Blaze News?

Deadspin vilified a 9-year-old Kansas City Chiefs fan last year for wearing face paint to a game. The article‚ penned by Deadspin senior writer Carron Phillips‚ alleged the boy "found a way to hate Black people and Native Americans at the same time." The family of the traduced child filed a lawsuit against Deadspin last week. Fortunately‚ the boy did not have to wait until the suit's resolution for a major win. Holden Armenta donned more paint and feathers to support his team Sunday and watched them beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in person at Super Bowl LVIII. — (@) According to the Washington Examiner‚ a group led by Patriots Prayer host Eddie Smith along with "Skin in the Game" co-hosts Maurice — known online as the Native Patriot — and Anthony Chavez raised over $11‚000 to send Armenta to the big game. Their GiveSendGo campaign noted‚ "We believe in supporting Holden's Superbowl [sic] dream to counteract the unjust treatment he received from the media. Our goal is to send Holden to the Superbowl‚ allowing him to experience the joy of being a dedicated Chiefs fan without the shadow of false accusations." Maurice told the Examiner‚ "Just the demonization that that kid went through and that family went through. I wanted to turn something dark into something light for them‚ so that way he can go back out there and basically get a second shot." — (@) Blaze News previously reported that Holden Armenta was smeared by Deadspin's Carron Phillips after wearing an Indian headdress to a November 2023 game between the Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders. The original article — which has since been partially revised but nevertheless maintains its initial argument — was entitled‚ "The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face‚ Native headdress." Holden Armenta‚ a child of Chumash Indian heritage‚ had dared to wear his favorite team's colors to the Chiefs-Raiders game on Nov. 26. Extra to his jersey and an Indian headdress‚ he painted one side of his face red and the other side black. The Deadspin article featured an image of the child in profile such that only the black-painted side of his face could be seen. Phillips' article started off weighed down with presumptions: "It takes a lot to disrespect two groups of people at once. But on Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas‚ a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time." Phillips exploited this false narrative to suggest that "this is what happens when you ban books‚ stand against Critical Race Theory‚ and try to erase centuries of hate. You give future generations the ammunition they need to evolve and create racism better than before." In addition to slamming the child‚ Phillips‚ who still writes for Deadspin‚ insinuated that Holden Armenta's family "taught" the boy to hate black people and Indians. When critics lashed out at Phillips and Deadspin over their hit piece targeting a child‚ Phillips doubled down‚ accusing his critics of being racist as well. The family filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware on Feb. 6 seeking damages and a "narrowly-tailored injunction" prohibiting the republication of any statement or image found by the jury to be false and defamatory. The suit stressed that the hit piece "maliciously and wantonly" attacked "a nine-year-old boy and his parents for Phillips' own race-drenched political agenda." A race-obsessive writer evidently couldn't hold Holden Armenta down. Footage shows the boy decked out in his Indian war paint and headdress leaving a Nevada hotel with his father for the game. In addition to showing off his ceremonial touchdown dance‚ Holden also demonstrated his practiced tomahawk chop. Shannon Armenta‚ the boy's mother‚ indicated in a pregame video‚ "We are so grateful to everyone who has supported our family. It means the world to us‚ so thank you. Eddie Smith said‚ "On to the next one‚ guys. This is just one victory in many." Skin in the game live holden going to the Super Bowl https://t.co/XMINB40cTE — (@) The Native Patriot wrote in a Sunday afternoon post to X‚ "I feel blessed and honored to be part of this movement. We have taken a dark smear against a child and turned it into something incredible! ... I believe this is a huge win against cancel culture‚ and against the dark side of the media that only wishes to destroy‚ smear‚ and defame." My immediate reaction to this.\n\n I feel blessed and honored to be a part of this movement. We have taken a dark smear against a child and turned it into something incredible! \n\n The Armenta\u2019s are amazing people.

If Joe Biden has accomplished anything during his presidency‚ it’s letting the world know he isn’t the brightest commander in chief. First it was the incessant gaffes and his poor policy decisions‚ and now it’s documenting classified information and sharing it with a ghostwriter for his memoir. This sparked a classified investigation into the potential legal ramifications of his actions. The investigation uncovered evidence that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials that included military and national security information. However‚ In special counsel Robert Hur’s report‚ he concludes that Biden will not face any charges. “This report is filled with damning indictments against Joe Biden‚ multiple violations of the Espionage Act‚ one after another after another‚ a black-and-white case‚” Mark Levin says‚ disturbed by Hur’s conclusion. In the report‚ it’s claimed that Biden would not be charged because of his deteriorating mental state. “We wouldn’t charge him because he’s an imbecile‚” Levin scoffs. “If only Donald Trump had such a prosecutor.” Biden went on to say in a press conference that he did not willfully retain and disclose classified materials. “He’s a serial liar‚” Levin says‚ adding that “apart from the mental problems‚ he’s got character problems.” Want more from Mark Levin?To enjoy more of "the Great One" — Mark Levin as you've never seen him before — subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.

A teen girl who was supposed to get on a flight back home to California never made it onto the flight. The authorities said the last time she was seen was during a layover at Denver International Airport‚ according to Fox News Digital.Harper Cadman‚ 15‚ went missing at the Denver International Airport on January 30‚ according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The organization said‚ "Harper never got on her flight back home and is believed to still be in the Denver or Boulder‚ Colorado‚ area."Cadman was reportedly last seen at 8:27 a.m. when she landed in Denver on January 30 for a layover en route back to California. Cadman's mother‚ Ari Petronelli‚ took to Facebook‚ writing: "I am sick to my stomach writing this‚ and I never thought that I would ever have to post another missing flier of my own child but if anything this last year has taught me is that life just doesn't make sense."The New York Post reported that Cadman was making her way back home to California after visiting Montana to receive mental health treatment. However‚ she never made it onto her United Airlines flight home. Though the teen girl's luggage successfully made it back to Los Angeles‚ she has not been heard from or seen in almost two weeks. Authorities are operating under the assumption that Cadman could be in the Denver or Boulder areas.Petronelli wrote: "My sister and I spent last week searching Denver and Boulder‚ speaking with detectives‚ advocates‚ the unhoused‚ and ‘street kids.'"“What we saw was a very cold‚ scary‚ and dangerous situation for anyone but especially an at-risk 15-year-old girl who was last seen wearing just a sweater with leggings and no belongings‚” she added.“Harper does not know anyone in Colorado and has only been when she was 8 years old for a vacation so she is not familiar with the area‚” Patronelli said. She went on to say that Cadman has gone missing in the past.The teen is reportedly 5'7" and weighs 115 pounds. She has blue eyes‚ dyed black hair‚ and facial piercings and tattoos. She also has braces.The report also mentioned that Cadman did not have a bag or anything with her at the time of her disappearance.Like Blaze News?

Some of Mark Zuckerberg's Meta products will default to not recommending political content or political pages in hopes of fostering a "great experience" for their users.Instagram and Threads‚ Meta's competitor to Elon Musk's X‚ announced that they would reduce the default amount of new political content to users to exactly zero. Any content from accounts deemed to be political that a user does not already follow will not be suggested or placed in recommended sections."We want Instagram and Threads to be a great experience for everyone. If you decide to follow accounts that post political content‚ we don’t want to get between you and their posts‚ but we also don’t want to proactively recommend political content from accounts you don’t follow‚" Instagram wrote in a press release. The platforms won’t push such content on "recommendation surfaces across Instagram and Threads‚" but users will be able to opt in to seeing the suggested materials.The press release attached an image that showed Instagram's settings‚ where "political content" is set to "limit" by default‚ with the option to select "don't limit."Political content is likely to mention "governments‚ elections‚ or social topics that affect a group of people and/or society at large‚" the platform described.This public display of cutting off growth of political channels included hiding them from recommended content streams such as the explore page‚ short-form videos known as Reels‚ and recommendations on the user's feed‚ as well as preventing any new political channels from appearing in one's Suggested Users section."It doesn’t change how we show people content from accounts they choose to follow‚" the platform justified. "If political content ... is posted by an account that is not eligible to be recommended‚ that account’s content can still reach their followers in Feed and Stories."Instagram then suggested that users could delete any recently posted political content in order to be eligible for recommendations once again.As founder Zuckerberg continues to move away from politics on his platforms and toward augmented reality‚ the company has seen record revenue.During the fourth quarter of 2023‚ Meta made an impressive $40.1 billion‚ a quarterly revenue record. This as Zuckerberg has endured heavy accusations from federal authorities over alleged child abuse and exploitation through the use of Meta's platforms.Zuckerberg took verbal beatings in a recent hearing from senators like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley‚ who questioned him on the basis of the alleged scandals.In addition‚ 2023 saw Meta begin to block news and political content on their platforms in Canada. The Canadian government ruled that Meta needed to pay news companies for bringing content to the apps‚ to which Meta quickly responded by disabling such content in the country.The company's latest move is sure to push political creators further away from the apps should they hope to garner income from their productions.Like Blaze News?
