Mitch Landrieu, cochair for President Joe Biden's campaign, told CNN he is puzzled as to why Americans are concerned about Biden's mental acuity amid public appearances being consistently riddled with manifestations of his advanced age, 81."Trump challenged Joe Biden on, which was, he wants him to take a cognitive test. And we have a very short bit of time, but he did, he tried to remember the name of his own doctor — Donald Trump — and he messed that up while he’s challenging Mr. Biden. What do you make of that?" host Sara Sidner asked.“I think Donald Trump is a joke. I mean, when this guy — when his lips are moving, he’s lying," Landrieu replied, going on to say it is actually Trump who has mental acuity problems."When he tries to go to accuse somebody else of speaking improperly, he can’t keep two thoughts in his mind. I want to encourage Americans to go listen to Donald Trump’s full speeches and try to put that word spaghetti together," he said.Videos of these moments, which garner a lot of attention, are often dismissed by Biden supporters as being deceptively edited or lacking context."And I wonder why anybody is questioning Joe Biden’s mental acuity. Donald Trump can’t string two sentences together. I mean, this is the biggest joke in the world. My president is going to show up on time, on task, and he is going to give it to Donald Trump next week. He shows up, he’s doing his job," Landrieu added. "The proof is in the pudding. We have the receipts: 15.5 million jobs, 56,000 projects going on, and economy that’s stronger than any other economy in the world, and taking it to big corporate America to reduce their prices because inflation has come down from 9% to 3%.” Biden campaign co-chair: I don't understand why people are questioning Biden's mental health www.youtube.com Concerns about Biden's mental health continue to rise as event after event is marred with odd moments where he appears to be lost or frozen in place. The latest example of this occurred during his celebrity-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles over the weekend.Former President Barack Obama had to help usher Biden off stage after Biden meandered aimlessly when it was the moment for them to go offstage. Videos of these moments, which garner a lot of attention, are often dismissed by Biden supporters as being deceptively edited or lacking context, despite many of the videos being live or posted in full.Voters have long expressed their belief Biden is simply too old to lead the country for another four years. An ABC News/Ipsos poll from February showed over 80% of those asked said they thought Biden's advanced age means he should not serve another term.Like Blaze News?

Joe Biden likely won’t sign it, but regardless, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) has introduced legislation to dismantle all federal DEI programs. “If you want to root out the Deep State and the bureaucracy, you need political appointees who are aligned with the agenda. And what this legislation does — I’m not an idiot, Joe Biden’s not going to sign it — but Donald Trump would,” Vance tells Glenn Beck, adding, “What it would do is really destroy the diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucracy that exists in our country.” “People say, ‘Well, who doesn’t like diversity right? Doesn’t diversity just mean you have a nice Mexican restaurant down the street?’” Vance continues. “The way that our federal government has interpreted this is to explicitly allow racist decision-making, primarily targeting white and Asian Americans.” One example Vance uses is of a farm program that explicitly excluded white Americans from the provision of farm assistance for American farmers. “That’s ridiculous,” Vances tells Glenn. “You can’t discriminate, whether black or white, against people on the basis of skin color, this would proactively root this stuff out of our government, and it’s a very important first step to getting basic merit back in our federal system.” “I don’t think that even black farmers would have wanted that,” Glenn says, agreeing. “Farmers rely on each other, and they need to help each other because you know if Bill’s crop is down this year, it might be my crop down next year. So, we’re all in this together.” Vance believes this has a lot less to do with actually helping black people and a lot more to do with hurting white people. “One of my theories, Glenn, is that a lot of what is broken about America is high-education whites, who really hate lower-education whites. And I think you see that as a main driver of a lot of very stupid, evil public policy in this country, so we’ve got to root it out,” Vance explains.

The husband of Rep. Ilhan Omar, a far-left Democrat who represents Minneapolis and some of its suburbs, has been accused of failing to honor the terms of an investment contract he and a business associate made with a restaurant owner, according to a shocking report from the Minnesota Reformer earlier this month.Mynett claimed that he left political consulting after 'MAGA extremists' continually harassed him for his marriage to Omar.In March 2020, Omar married her third husband, Tim Mynett, a political consultant well-connected within Minnesota Democrat circles.At the time, Omar paid nearly $3 million to E Street Group, a political consulting firm owned by Mynett and Will Hailer, for her 2020 campaign. Because of the apparent impropriety of the arrangement, Omar announced later that year that she would no longer use E Street Group.'A snapshot of new trends': Mynett joins forces with restauranteurAbout a year later, Mynett and Hailer convinced Naeem Mohd, who owns a restaurant in the D.C.-area, to invest $300,000 in their nascent wine company called eStCru. In exchange, Mynett and Hailer promised Mohd that he would receive his original investment plus a 200% return — a total of $900,000 — in just 18 short months. Should Mynett and Hailer default, they would tack 10% interest each month on any outstanding balance.The terms of the contract may seem outrageous, but Mynett and Hailer were apparently in dire straits. A former client had paid them in grapes, and they were desperate to turn those grapes into wine, the Reformer reported. To that end, they hired Erica Stancliff, described by the Reformer as "a well-respected Sonoma winemaker," to head eStCru.At first, eStCru seemed to be doing well. It began offering a line of wines with names like Blockchain, Overt, and The Devil’s Lie, and was even featured among Wine Business Monthly's list of "Hot Brands" of 2022. However, W. Blake Gray, editor of online wine outlet Wine-Searcher, noted that such accolades are not necessarily indicative of "business success.""It's more a snapshot of new trends in the wine industry," Gray wrote.That seems to have been the case with eStCru, which quickly turned sour after that short burst of success. Revenue at the company was so limited by early 2023 that Stancliff even reportedly worked for months without pay before ultimately resigning. "It happened very abruptly," Stancliff said, according to the Reformer. "I couldn’t even tell you exactly how it happened other than we hit a wall and the reserve was no longer there."The dramatic changes in revenue at eStCru are reflected in Omar's tax filings. She declared between $65,000 and $150,000 in spousal income from eStCru in 2021 and 2022 but no more than $1,000 from it in 2023.As tight as money was, Mynett and Hailer did manage to pay back Mohd's original $300,000 investment, though they allegedly did so about a month late. They also reportedly never paid any of the promised interest.Mohd later sued, claiming that Mynett and Hailer "fraudulently misrepresented ... that estCru, LLC was a legitimate company." He is seeking $780,000.Mynett and Hailer are still trying to sell the "intellectual property and trademarks" associated with eStCru, the Reporter said.In an email, Hailer told the Reformer that "ESTCRU LLC like many wineries is living invoice to invoice, sale to sale to stay afloat given the economic conditions of the industry." He also admitted that eStCru may owe Stancliff backpay.Mynett claimed that he left political consulting after "MAGA extremists" continually harassed him for his marriage to Omar. He also insisted that he and Hailer have since become "incredibly successful" at digital advertising and targeting, the Reformer said.Attorneys Mark Thomson and Andy Phillips, who represent Mynett and Hailer, added: "Any suggestion that Will or Tim deliberately defrauded investors or otherwise consciously conspired to rip people off would be false and defamatory."'Deception': Controversy carries over to Omar's 2024 campaignOmar has not responded to the Reformer's request for comment. There are no reports that she was personally involved in the financial agreement between Mynett, Hailer, and Mohd.Still, her opponent in the 2024 election has made her husband's seemingly shady business deals a campaign issue. At a press conference on June 6, Don Samuels, a Democrat former Minneapolis city councilman, accused Omar of engaging in "deception.""Representative Omar has used her time for three terms in Congress — what many would consider the opportunity and honor of a lifetime — to divide our community and enrich herself in the process," Samuels said."Based on the Reformer story, it looks like there’s very little money in the recorded entities that are on disclosures, and potentially millions of dollars in the underlying entities that are not exposed," one of Samuels' campaign associates added.Omar, Mynett, and several 'marijuana entrepreneurs'The Reformer also noted that other companies founded by Hailer and Mynett are currently embroiled in a separate alleged fraud controversy in connection with several "marijuana entrepreneurs" in South Dakota. In April 2023, these companies — eSt Ventures, Badlands Fund GP, and Badlands Ventures — agreed to pay the investors $1.7 million to settle a lawsuit for alleged breach of contract.However, only $500,000 has been paid. Last fall, Hailer signed a confession of judgment, admitting that the companies still owed the entrepreneurs $1.2 million.Mynett was named in the lawsuit but not as a defendant. He separated from eSt Ventures in early 2022, telling the Reformer that he was not "active in any of the work (securing investment, placing investment or even structure)." The company is now listed as "inactive" since it owes fees to the state of Nebraska.Omar did not list eSt Ventures on any tax filings but did list a company called "EstVenture LLC." She claimed between $5,001 and $15,000 in spousal income associated with EstVenture LLC in 2021 and between $15,001 and $50,000 in 2022. She did not list the LLC in her 2023 filing.Like Blaze News?

A woman recently came forward accusing Robert Morris, the founding pastor of the popular Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, of molesting her as a child. Morris confirmed in a statement to various outlets that decades ago, he did indeed engage in "inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady." "When I was in my early twenties, I was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady in a home where I was staying. It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong," Morris told the Post. "This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years." Cindy Clemishire, the woman in question, has contradicted Morris' characterization of events, telling the Christian Post that she had been no "young lady" at the time the molestation began. "I was 12 years old. I was a little girl. A very innocent little girl. And he was brought into our home. He and his wife, Debbie, and their little boy, Josh, and trusted and preached at the church that my dad helped start and then began grooming all of us to do this, which took me decades to wrap my brain around as an adult," said Clemishire. "It went on for many years," added the victim. "He says there was no sexual intercourse, but he did touch every part of my body and inserted his fingers into me, which I understand now is considered a form of rape by instrumentation. I was an innocent 12-year-old little girl who knew nothing about sexual behavior." Clemishire initially shared the story of her alleged victimization by Morris with the Wartburg Watch, a watchdog blog that details incidents of abuse within various churches. Clemishire indicated she only realized the full extent of what had happened to her upon watching a description of predatory grooming on television. Clemishire recalled that she and her family met Morris long before he had a television program and a radio show while at a youth revival in Tulsa. Morris was reportedly a 24-year-old traveling evangelist at the time, married to his current wife, Debbie. According to Clemishire, after Morris was invited to do a youth revival in her hometown, he began regularly preaching at her church on Sundays. Over time, he and his wife became family friends, whom she regarded as "safe and friendly." 'He would take her out in his car and attempt to have sexual intercourse.' "All that changed for Cindy on 12/25/1982. Yes, Christmas night. The Morris family came to visit and spend some time there. Cindy sat in the back seat of the car with Robert. He asked her to visit him in his room that night," alleged the Wartburg Watch. "She shared a room with her sister. Cindy, an innocent twelve-year-old girl, movingly described what she was wearing. She was wearing pink pajamas with bloomer pants. She wore underwear underneath. She had a snap-up robe on." Morris allegedly "told her to lie down on her back and touched her stomach. He told her to close her eyes. Then he touched her breasts and felt under her panties. He warned her: 'Never tell anyone about this because it will ruin everything.'" The molestation apparently continued until March 1987. "Morris wanted to make out and engage in heavy petting. He reportedly told Debbie that he was 'counseling' Cindy," the Wartburg Watch said, paraphrasing Clemishire's recollection of events. "Cindy wondered if Debbie was in denial about what was happening. Things changed when she turned sixteen. He would take her out in his car and attempt to have sexual intercourse. Once, he was fixing a vanity in his home and held up a screw and asked Cindy if she wanted to 'do this.' By this time, Morris was a pastor at Shady Grove Church, which would eventually become Gateway Church-Grand Prairie Campus." Gateway Church has grown significantly, such that it now sees as many as 100,000 people in attendance each weekend. When Clemishire's father found out about what was going on, he reportedly called the head pastor of Shady Grove Church to report Morris and demanded that unless the alleged pedophile abandoned the ministry, he would inform local law enforcement. Morris apparently stepped down for two years. Morris' 2011 book "From Dream to Destiny" suggests his momentary leave from the vocation was alternatively the result of an excess in pride. In a 2014 sermon, the pastor referenced his bout of sexual immorality, noting that there "was a bit in my life toward immorality and I couldn't get free. Without Christ, I couldn't get free." However, he suggested this took place during his teenage years. 'I have walked in purity and accountability in this area.' "We would go out and meet girls and I would end up being immoral in just one night," said Morris. "There was a curse in my life where immorality became easy for me." Morris, a father of three and now also a grandfather, said in a statement to the Christian Post, "In March of 1987, this situation was brought to light, and it was confessed and repented of. I submitted myself to the Elders of Shady Grove Church and the young lady’s father. They asked me to step out of ministry and receive counseling and freedom ministry, which I did. Since that time, I have walked in purity and accountability in this area." "In March of 1989, I stepped back into ministry with the full blessing of the elders and her father," Morris added in his statement. "In October of 1989, Debbie and I met with her and her family, and I asked their forgiveness, and they graciously forgave me." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram highlighted alleged internal communications at Gateway asking not to "proactively" circulate a statement from the megachurch to the media or in public. The statement from the "Elders of Gateway Church" says, "Pastor Robert has been open and forthright about a moral failure he had over 35 years ago when he was in his twenties and prior to him starting Gateway Church. He has shared publicly from the pulpit the proper Biblical steps he took in his lengthy restoration process." According to the elders, "Since the resolution of this 35-year-old matter, there have been no other moral failures. Pastor Robert has walked in purity, and he has placed accountability measures and people in his life." While the church characterized the matter as resolved, the Wartburg Watch claimed that Clemishire was poised to file a civil lawsuit in 2005, but was allegedly met with the suggestion from Morris' attorney that she had been at fault, having been "flirtatious." Clemishire asked for $50,000 and Morris' team allegedly agreed to $25,000 if she also agreed to sign a nondisclosure agreement, which she refused to do. Clemishire has retained evangelist Billy Graham's grandson Boz Tchividjian as her attorney, reported WFAA-TV. While Tchividjian suspects that the statute of limitations for criminal or civil action has run out, he indicated they are considering their options. "My hope and prayer is for all of this to be good," said Clemishire. "For the church, for God's glory, and for other victims to find freedom." Like Blaze News?
