Disgusting Biden bike trail sniffing (video)
[Western Journal] Sadly, this is far from the first time Biden has been captured in the midst of an inappropriate interaction with a young child.

While swearing in Republican Sen. Jim Risch during his time as vice president, Biden stroked the hair of Risch’s daughter and asked to take a photo alone with her. He was clearly uncomfortable with the idea.

"Dad’s going to stand pretty close," Risch said. Biden went on to comment about what he would do "if I was young."

Turning Point USA’s Richard Armande Mills shared a video of the unsettling interaction.

Biden's Energy Dept Drag Queen Gets Top Secret ‘Q Clearance' Alongside Six-Figure Government Salary.
[The National Pulse] A high-level hire at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy, whose past as a drag queen and defender of underage gay prostitution sites has stirred controversy, is earning a salary in the top one percent of all government employees, according to documents obtained exclusively by The National Pulse.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by The National Pulse reveals Sam Brinton’s taxpayer funded salary of $178,063, placing him amongst the top one percent of other federal salaries. It is also around five times the national median individual income.

Brinton, who received his job offer in allegedly strange circumstances in January 2022, will also enjoy the top secret “Q clearance” level in the Department of Energy. The designation Top Secret is applied to information, “the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.”

Brinton’s personal posts have also revealed the gravity of his appointment, sharing on Twitter on June 29th:

“I lead a staff of hundreds and a budget of millions (with a Nuclear Waste Fund I’m responsible for at over $45 billion) as the leader of the office overseeing the management of the nation’s spent nuclear fuel.”

The revelations follow The National Pulse exposé of appointee Samuel Brinton’s past as a drag queen, LGBTQ+ activist who has “lectured” on kink at college campuses and participated in interviews about fetish roleplay.

Government Corruption
Leaked DOJ Docs: FBI Informant Says Proud Boys Did Not Plan to Enter Capitol, Were There to Protect Trump Supporters
[AmGreatness] The Department of Justice is well aware that the Proud Boys who attended the Stop the Steal rally on January 6 were not violent and did not conspire to enter the Capitol—yet are prosecuting them on conspiracy charges anyway, FBI documents obtained by Gateway Pundit reveal.

Five members of the group are currently in pre-trial detention on federal charges: Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Dominic Pezzola and Zachary Rehl.

A whistleblower leaked “a treasure trove” of exculpatory documents, and text messages—some marked “Highly Sensitive”—to the Gateway Pundit reporter Cara Castronuova. “These documents would be buried forever and never see the light of day if they were not leaked to us by a brave whistleblower,” Castronuova wrote. “While the informant does provide an honest assessment of the activity of the group, the videos and photos he took all day long of the group and sent back to his bosses were ultimately used to conjure up a case to present before a Grand Jury and Indict these individuals.”

Capitol rioter who carried Confederate flag sentenced to 5 months in jail
[IsraelTimes] David Alan Blair, 27, also ordered to pay $2,000; about 840 people have been charged with federal crimes related to January 6 riot.

A Maryland man who used a lacrosse stick attached to a Confederate battle flag to shove a police officer during the US Capitol riot was sentenced on Wednesday to five months in prison, according to a Justice Department front man.

US District Judge Christopher Cooper also sentenced David Alan Blair, to 18 months of supervised release after his prison term and ordered him to pay $2,000 in restitution, said William Miller, a front man for the US Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.

Federal prosecutors recommended sentencing Blair to eight months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.

Blair’s attorney, Terrell Roberts III, asked for a sentence of probation.

Blair, 27, left his home in Clarksburg, Maryland, and started driving to Washington, DC, after the riot erupted at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Shortly before 6 p.m., Blair encountered a line of Metropolitan Police Department officers on the Capitol’s West Lawn and refused to heed their commands to leave the area, prosecutors said.

A police officer’s body camera captured Blair walking in front of the police line and yelling, "Hell naw. Quit backing up. Don’t be scared. We’re Americans."

Blair was arrested after he pushed his lacrosse stick against an officer’s chest.

The officer responded to the push by striking Blair three times in the head with a baton, drawing blood and giving him a concussion, according to Blair’s attorney.
If he was black, it'd be "excessive force!" and "No justice, no peace"
Approximately 840 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot. Over 330 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanor charges punishable by no more than one-year imprisonment. More than 200 have been sentenced, including approximately 100 who received prison terms ranging from nine days to over five years.

Blair is one of several Capitol riot defendants who carried a Confederate battle flag that day. The others include Kevin Seefried, a Delaware man who was convicted in June of storming the Capitol with his adult son. Another flag-toting rioter, Matthew Ryan Miller, was sentenced in May to 33 months in prison for assaulting coppers and obstructing an official proceeding.

Blair pleaded guilty in March to a felony charge of interfering with law enforcement during a civil disorder, which carries a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment.

In a court filing, Roberts said Blair thought he had the right to be where he was and to "exercise his First Amendment right of free assembly" before one of the advancing officers shoved him.

"The brute force which led to provoking the defendant was not called for," Roberts wrote.

Blair didn’t enter the Capitol. He told Sherlocks that he went there to "fight Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
," not to disrupt Congress from certifying President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle...
’s 2020 electoral victory, according to prosecutors.

Blair also said he had been trading social media messages with somebody who often made anti-Semitic remarks and "blamed Israel for the world’s problems," Assistant US Attorney Michael Liebman wrote in a court filing.

"Blair further explained that as a result of these discussions he came to believe the United States was ’falling apart’ and that he had to ’stand up’ to communism," Liebman added.

On January 6, Blair was wearing a skull-themed neck gaiter and a backpack containing a knife with a serrated blade and a roll of duct tape. He told police that he used the duct tape to attach the Confederate battle flag to his lacrosse stick.

Liebman said Blair likely knew that displaying the flag, widely viewed as a symbol of racist hate, would "antagonize any ideological opponent he might encounter."

Blair, whose mother is from South Carolina, "cared deeply about his family’s heritage," his lawyer wrote.

Strangely, that's what the Left thinks of the American flag.

#3  "who used a lacrosse stick attached to a Confederate battle flag to shove a police officer"

First that is a very odd way to say it, as if he pushed him with the flag and not the stick. Second, if you shove a cop with a 5 foot stick you are gonna face some repercussions no matter what the flag attached to that stick is.

Disgraced Former Congresswoman Files For Bankruptcy After Losing Revenge Porn Lawsuit
[Daily Wire] Our favorite throuple makes the news again

Disgraced former Congresswoman Katie Hill has filed for bankruptcy after she unsuccessfully sued publications and journalists for publishing nude photographs of her while she was in office.

The bisexual former lawmaker sued the conservative website RedState, the British tabloid the Daily Mail, and journalists Jennifer Van Laar and Joe Messina after they published pictures of her brushing another woman’s hair while naked and holding a bong, the Los Angles Times reported.

If her filing for bankruptcy is successful, she could avoid paying the attorney’s fees to the defendants in the lawsuit, which a judge dismissed in 2021, the publication reported.

"It’s a broken system where a plaintiff’s sensible use of our legal system to adjudicate fundamental breaches to their sexual privacy results in such financially punishing consequences for daring to file a legal case that bankruptcy is the last resort," Hill’s attorney Carrie Goldberg told the Los Angeles Times, claiming that Hill had no choice but to file for bankruptcy.

"Victims of cyber exploitation are being let down by our legal system, and I have gotten an unfortunately personal look at the damage that can do," Hill tweeted. "I incurred substantial financial loss to fight this case because I believe it was my responsibility to do so to try to protect future victims of cyber exploitation."

But Krista Lee Baughman, who represents the journalists that Hill sued, criticized the former congresswoman for attempting to "evade responsibility for her errors."

"The bankruptcy process was not meant to enable privileged politicians with the means to earn revenue to evade the natural consequences of their intentional acts," she said, the Los Angles Times reported. "We have questions about this filing, and we will be pursuing them in court."

In 2019, Red State published stories alleging that not only had Hill and her then-husband engaged in a sexual relationship with a female campaign staffer — the publication also alleged she was carrying on an affair with a subordinate.

Not. It's design to force any plaintiff to make sure they have a real case worth going forward on rather than lawfare against anybody. It's doing what it is intended to do.
