Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had a short reply when he was asked by Fox News if he regrets signing the intelligence officials’ letter in 2020 that labeled the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation. Clapper, along with 50 other former senior intelligence officials, signed the letter in October 2020 — just weeks before the presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden — saying the New York Post story that exposed emails from Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Since that letter, Hunter Biden’s laptop has been confirmed as authentic by multiple media outlets and the Department of Justice. The laptop was also confirmed as real during Hunter’s ongoing gun trial earlier this week when the prosecution shared images from the laptop and Hunter’s iCloud account that showed him nude and holding crack pipes. When Clapper was asked if he regretted adding his name to the intelligence officials’ letter, he simply replied, “No,” Fox News reported. He also refused to publicly remove his name from the letter. Hunter’s laptop contained evidence that the first son introduced the commander-in-chief to a Ukrainian businessman less than a year before then-Vice President Joe Biden pressured Ukrainian government officials to fire a prosecutor investigating the businessman’s company. Hunter had been hired to the board of a Ukrainian energy firm a year before Joe Biden’s meeting with the Ukrainian businessman. Clapper, and dozens of other former intelligence officials, wrote of the Hunter Biden laptop story, “If we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.” The letter was covered in a report by POLITICO that was published on October 19, 2020, and Biden referred to the letter in a debate with Trump three days later when Hunter’s laptop and foreign business dealings were brought up. Biden went on to win the 2020 election just two weeks later, but it would be another three years before the “Russian disinformation” claims put forth by the former intelligence officials were debunked by the DOJ. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings — along with his father’s alleged involvement in them when he was vice president — have been the center of a months-long impeachment inquiry led by House Republicans. Earlier this week, House Republicans referred Hunter Biden and the president’s brother, James Biden, for criminal prosecution for allegedly lying while testifying as part of the corruption-focused impeachment inquiry into the president.

Conservative media organization PragerU was kicked off of the Google Play store on Friday shortly after it released its documentary “Dear Infidels: A Warning to America,” but the Big Tech company said the suspension was a mistake. Google notified PragerU that it had violated its “hate speech policy,” according to a screenshot shared by the conservative non-profit, and the app was booted from Android users’ mobile store, The Jerusalem Post reported. The Big Tech giant also told PragerU that its app went under a review, which found “content or speech asserting that a protected group is inhuman, inferior or worthy of being hated.” Hours later, however, Google said that the app had been reinstated “after further re-review,” and a Google spokesman told The Washington Examiner that the suspension was made in error. “In an email from Google, they said our recently removed app is now available ‘after further re-review,'” PragerU wrote on X. “Thank you to all of our amazing supporters who helped publicize this issue to force Google to reverse their earlier decision to remove our app from the store entirely.” The new documentary that PragerU suspected was the reason for Google’s suspension of its app “features first-hand accounts from those who escaped Islamic rule and have come to warn America.” “Radical Islam poses a significant threat to our freedom,” the documentary description states. “The rise of anti-American rhetoric and violence in cities and universities is a direct result of the indoctrination led by those perpetrating a religious war against the West.” PragerU, which was started by conservative writer and radio show host Dennis Prager, has been targeted by Google and YouTube in the past. The organization has sued the Big Tech platforms “for restricting over 200 videos, including videos on the Ten Commandments, which continue to be restricted by YouTube today,” PragerU said.

Nicholas Kristof: Biden is Right to Curb Immigration

On Thursday, the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the ladies on ABC’s The View took attention away from the memory of the brave men and boys who stormed the beaches of Normandy, France and made it about former President Trump and their fears of him winning in November. There was also the ironic rant by moderator Whoopi Goldberg about young people needing to learn their World War II history. Co-host Joy Behar contributed to the discussion as she relayed a story regarding a trip she took to Normandy. “I had a guide who was French, and I said to him, ‘we saved France,’ and he said, ‘you saved the world.’” Goldberg, with her vast understanding of history, quickly added “That’s what America used to do!”   Behar explained that what the guide said to her was “the most touching thing anybody has ever said to me about this country.” But her almost patriotic sentence took a turn when she made the moment about Trump: “and for us to be throwing it down the toilet to a convicted felon, to somebody who is liable for rape, who lies and cheats.” But she wasn’t done: John Kelly, his former chief of staff, said Trump said U.S. service members were suckers and losers for risking their lives. There's nothing in it for them. He refused to visit the graves in France. He didn't want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because, quote, it doesn't look good for me. He criticized Gold Star families. Trump has denied making any disparaging remarks about U.S. service members. Behar concluded with: “Today is the day to reflect on what we have in this country and what we could lose very easily if we don't watch it.” Goldberg kicked off the segment by mentioning that Biden was in Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-Day visiting the grounds where “allied forces stormed the beaches to fight back against fascism and to turn the tide of World War II.” She noted “the craziest thing is that we've had to tell an entire new generation that it actually happened.” Goldberg placed great emphasis on the idea that everyone should know and understand history as a whole. Interestingly, in 2022 Goldberg boldly proclaimed, “Well also, if we're going to do this, then let's be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn't about race.” She attempted to validate her point by adding that the Holocaust only concerned “two groups of white people.” Click "Expand" to view the transcripts: ABC The View 6/6/2024 11:14:51-11:15:32 WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Well President Biden is in Normandy right now to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when allied forces stormed the beaches to fight back against fascism and to turn the tide of World War II. The craziest thing is that we've had to tell an entire new generation that it actually happened. JOY BEHAR: Yeah. SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah. GOLDBERG: You know, we are losing so much ground because people don't realize what the blood and sweat that people put in, you know, and to save other people. And how everybody is involved in this. (…) 11:16:19-11:17:38 BEHAR: So, when I was there, I had a guide who was French and I said to him, “we saved France,” and he said “you saved the world.” “You saved the world.” GOLDBERG: That’s what America used to do. BEHAR: And that is the most touching thing anybody has ever said to me about this country and for us to be throwing it down the toilet to a convicted felon to somebody who is liable for rape, who lies and cheats, who calls- HOSTIN: -Liable for sexual abuse- BEHAR: Sexual harassment whatever it is. John Kelly, John Kelly his former chief of staff said Trump said U.S. service members were suckers and losers for risking their lives. There's nothing in it for them. He refused to visit the graves in France. He didn't want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because, quote, it doesn't look good for me. He criticized gold star families. He went against John McCain who was a hero. [Applause]  And this guy is neck and neck with Biden? Today is the day to reflect on what we have in this country and what we could lose very easily if we don't watch it. ALYSSA GRIFFIN: If I could just add – BEHAR: End of speech and by the way, if you want to learn about this and you don't feel like reading about it watch Saving Private Ryan and The Longest Day. Two movies about this. (…)
