Illegal alien charged with brutal murder just one day after California judge set him loose

Todd Stewart

California’s revolving door criminal justice system appears to have produced another horrifying result.

Marcos Iriarte-Valdez, a Venezuelan illegal alien with a prior criminal record, was facing burglary charges when a judge in Democratic-majority Contra Costa County released him on his own recognizance, a pledge to return to court when scheduled, much like illegal aliens who came into the country illegally promised to show up in court for immigration purposes. Didn't work then; didn't work with this scumcrumpet, but judges aren't judged for their poor judgment.

Just one day later, he allegedly stabbed 68-year-old retiree Todd Stewart to death during an attempted burglary, prosecutors said.

The Department of Homeland Security is now demanding answers, and it is not being particularly subtle about who it believes should be held accountable.

DHS told media outlet Fox News Digital that it had placed an immigration detainer on Iriarte-Valdez on Sept. 23, 2025. The department said he is from Venezuela and holds Spanish citizenship [and is a horrible human being].

"Valdez is charged with murder, inflicting corporal injury on spouse, three counts of burglary, receiving known stolen property, trespassing, entering non-commercial dwelling, loitering, as well as convicted of violation of court ordered protective order," the department said in a statement.

Then DHS had a message for failed Democratic California Gov. Gavin 'Crazy Hands' Newsom.

"CA Governor Gavin Newsom must not release this murderer from jail and turn him over to us so we can REMOVE him from our nation," the department later tweeted about Iriarte-Valdez.

DHS also took aim at the socialist-inspired sanctuary policies that routinely put immigration enforcement at odds with local authorities.

"Sanctuary politicians must stop putting politics above public safety. This type of insanity leads to more crimes and more innocent victims," DHS said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

That last part is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss as mere political rhetoric when someone accused of serious crimes is released and allegedly kills a man the next day.

Iriarte-Valdez is accused of murdering Stewart, 68, in Martinez during an attempted burglary. Stewart had reportedly lived on his quiet neighborhood street for about 40 years.

According to prosecutors, Stewart encountered Iriarte-Valdez in his garage. The suspect allegedly attempted to flee before stabbing Stewart. Obviously, the POS didn't need to kill him if all he wanted was money or whatever. But this blot of human excrement had to kill the man.

Investigators eventually used automated license plate recognition technology, along with tips from members of the community, to identify and track Iriarte-Valdez.

But the real troubling question is how this guy was on the streets in the first place.

Contra Costa prosecutors had already charged Iriarte-Valdez in connection with alleged burglaries at occupied residences in April. He was on pretrial release in that case when he was arrested Tuesday for allegedly violating a home detention condition.

Then, on Wednesday, the court released him on his own recognizance.

Stewart was killed the following day.

Iriarte-Valdez will probably get what is equivalent to a slap on the hand.

Commie election hopeful didn't oppose child grooming: she might be Wisconsin's next governor

The Dragon Lady

You have to be kidding me. The socialist frontrunner in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary hired a self-described “sex worker” to run her campaign and voted against a law that bans grooming children.

State Rep. Francesca Hong, who held a 20-point advantage in the polls going into Tuesday’s primary, was one of just six Wisconsin lawmakers to vote against a measure that bars adults from “engaging in a course of conduct, pattern of behavior, or series of acts with the intention to condition, seduce, solicit, lure, or entice a child” to participate in sexual activity or pornography.

The bill overwhelmingly passed the Wisconsin State Assembly 93-6 and cleared the state Senate by voice vote before Democratic Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) signed it into law in March.

Hong has not publicly explained why she voted against the legislation. Others who voted against argued that it was redundant to existing state law, but they're probably okay with kids getting groomed.

The legislation initially came about as a response to the case of Christian Enwright, 31, a teacher from Kenosha who pled guilty to 15 misdemeanor counts of “disorderly conduct” in connection with his interactions with students, including a 14-year-old girl. 

“[Enwright] engaged in classic grooming behavior, preying on the vulnerability of at least one female student, under the guise of being a mentor, to foster and further a predatory relationship with her,” a school district investigator said. 

In addition to inspiring the new anti-grooming law, Enright’s actions sparked a lawsuit by a student’s parents against both him and the school district. Media outlets did not publish the names of either the girl or her parents because she still attended school in the district. 

The Original Dragon Lady

Hong entered Tuesday’s primary as the clear polling frontrunner because socialism is the new cool thing with dolts.

The democratic socialist has raised eyebrows during the campaign with a number of her old social media posts in which she called for the cancellation of Thanksgiving and suggested abolishing the Senate. She has also called for defunding the police, a position she’s tried to temper throughout her campaign, as recently as 2021, saying, “Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish. Reform can’t be an option.”

Dolts eat this garbage up.

Hong also made headlines with her support for legalizing prostitution, a point she punctuated by hiring an OnlyFans model to manage her campaign.

Folks, this is the Democrat Party now. A socialist who won’t ban grooming kids and puts a sex worker in charge of her campaign is leading the pack to be governor. 

Wisconsin better wake up, but don't hold your breath.

Another Democrat Meltdown: Sexual Assault Allegation Explodes in Platner’s Campaign Right Before the Deadline, Because of Course It Does

Throws Up In His Mouth After Smelling His Own Breath

Oh, how shocking. Another glowing progressive champion finds himself wrapped up in the kind of scandal that would end a Republican’s career in about five minutes flat. 

Democratic Senate candidate Graham "HH" Platner is now embroiled in controversy over his past behavior, including allegations of abuse from ex-girlfriends and that charming Nazi-linked tattoo he used to sport. Speculation is swirling on social media about the future of this scandal-plagued Nazi-loving far-left Democratic nominee after several of his events were mysteriously canceled over the Fourth of July weekend. Then, naturally, Politico dropped an explosive report on Monday afternoon accusing him of sexual assault, timed perfectly ahead of a key deadline. 

How convenient for the party that always lectures us about believing all women, until the woman in question becomes politically inconvenient. Just ask Hillary Clinton about that factoid.

Maine resident Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico over the course of three interviews that Platner forced her to have sex five years ago against her will, a claim that Herr Platner denied in the story. Additionally, the report says that a man Racicot dated afterward confirmed she had told him about the incident, which was also corroborated by emails between Racicot and her therapist. 

"I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me," Racicot told the outlet, which allegedly took place while Platner was 'almost blackout drunk.' "I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, 'This is no longer my choice.'"

Platner and his wife with whom he was unfaithful

Racicot said in the report that "one of the reasons" she didn't come forward until now was the "huge moral conflict" she had between her support of Platner's politics and not supporting him "as a person." In other words, she was torn between being a Democrat puppet or a victim of a Democrat.

"I just want the truth out there," Racicot said. "I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person."

In a statement to Politico, the Nazi tattoo-wearing Platner said, "These allegations are troubling, serious, and false. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue." 

The Platner campaign posted a video on X shortly after the Politico story published where Platner again called the allegations "false" and that he was going to "reflect" on the best path forward. The idea that he is capable of reflecting is questionable since vampires cast no reflection.

"So, regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins," Platner says in the video. "Those were the goals when we launched this campaign, and they remain my goals today."

Translation from conservative ears: The political reality of voters finding out who you really are is proving rather inconvenient for your communist cosplay tour. As for this writer, I am ashamed that you were a US Marine.

Over the last few days, multiple Platner events over the 4th of July holiday weekend and Monday were mysteriously canceled. There was no official explanation or comment from the campaign, Bangor Daily News reported on Monday, other than one event organizer saying that an event in Gorman was canceled due to Platner "not feeling well." 

Sure, comrade; must be that sudden case of "the voters might actually hear what I stand for" flu.

The news of the canceled events led conservative outlets and pundits to speculate throughout the day on Monday, before the Politico report was published, about whether there was an underlying reason for the cancellations. Turns out their instincts were spot on, as usual.

"Graham Platner cancels MULTIPLE scheduled town hall events as progressive allies tease another scandal is about to hit his campaign," the Maine Wire news outlet posted on X. "Augusta town hall for last night - CANCELED Gorham town hall tonight - CANCELED Sanford town hall tonight - CANCELED. There are no other upcoming events listed on his FB page, or on Mobilize."

"Graham Platner no-showed Fourth of July celebrations across Maine," the National Republican Senatorial Committee posted on X in response to the Maine Wire post. "Now, he's canceling everything else. We wouldn't want to be seen in public either… "

"A well-placed source told us that Graham Platner is dropping out of the Maine Senate race this week," the Washington Reporter posted on X. "Note that Platner has yet to release his Q2 fundraising totals, a sign he may have underperformed expectations." It seems as if Maine voters are hesitant to vote Nazi/Communist this year, but give them time because, hey, you never know.

Susan Collins with her 'banky' and a new lease on Senate?

In addition to the online rumors circulating on Monday, bets on the online prediction market Polymarket surged over the weekend, with users betting that Platner would drop out before the midterms. Even the betting markets know a sinking ship when they see one and soon the rats will also depart, I suspect.

Platner has been at the center of multiple controversies since launching his campaign, including infidelity, alleged physical abuse of an ex-girlfriend, a Nazi-linked tattoo, disparaging comments about the military, referring to himself as a "communist", scrutiny over his working-class bonafides, and a variety of inflammatory posts on a deleted Reddit account. But sure, he’s definitely the man Maine needs in the Senate. What could possibly go wrong that isn't already going wrong in places like New York City?

Despite the controversies, many polls in recent weeks showed that Platner had a lead on Collins. However, a Fox News poll published last week showed Collins with a small advantage, along with more than half of respondents saying that Platner lacks the judgment to serve as a U.S. senator. 

That level of bad judgment deserves its own participation trophy . . .  and a therapist.

Now that Platner has won the Democratic primary, the next key date is 5 p.m. on Monday, July 13. Under Maine law, if Platner formally withdraws as the Democratic nominee by that deadline, the Maine Democratic Party can replace him on the general election ballot by selecting a new nominee through its party process, with the replacement required to be chosen by July 27.

"These allegations are very serious and Graham vigorously denies them," a Platner campaign mouthpiece told Fox News Digital. "They are also coached and coordinated by out of state establishment operatives. For a year, opponents of this campaign have thrown everything they can at Graham – calling him a Nazi, a war criminal, and a communist. None of it has been true and this is no different." 

"It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline, just as the previous false allegations came a week before the primary. Graham began this campaign to fight for a Maine where everyone is treated with dignity and where Mainers are put first, and no amount of desperate smears will stop this movement from seeing that vision through."Of course it’s all a vast right-wing conspiracy. It always is, until the next scandal drops.

In fact, the Democratic Party has perfected the art of dropping last minute bombs on GOP candidates and nominees, if memory serves. [See Brett Kavanaugh.]

Meanwhile, Susan Collins continues doing her job while the Democrats tear their latest “working class hero” to shreds. Business as usual in the party of decency, decorum, and implying that Republicans are a danger to the nation and must be dealt with . . . use your imagination, Antifa et al.

Abdul El-Sayed's Bold New Crime Plan: What If We Just Let Everyone Out?

In what can only be described as the Democratic Party's latest audition for a reboot of Escape from New York, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has resurfaced comments advocating for the mass release of prisoners while participating in a webinar that featured a convicted murderer and a registered sex offender.

The August 2020 webinar, hosted by prison abolition activists and promoted with hashtags such as #FreeThemAll and #AbolishPrison, invited El-Sayed to discuss the "road to decarceration and abolition." For those unfamiliar with progressive jargon, "decarceration" is the fancy academic term for "let's see what happens if we stop putting criminals in prison."

El-Sayed enthusiastically embraced the concept.

"Not only are we taking people's rights from them, but also we have failed to provide them the basic means of a dignified life," he said. "Every choice we make about incarcerating somebody is about robbing that somebody from the people who love them and the people who need them."

Noticeably absent from the discussion were the people who got robbed, assaulted, raped, murdered, or otherwise victimized by the criminals in question. In the progressive hierarchy of compassion, crime victims increasingly appear to rank somewhere below convicted felons and slightly above carbon emissions.

El-Sayed went even further, declaring:

"Any and all efforts to get people out of jails and prisons and to keep people out of jails and prisons is policy that we need to be investing in."

Any and all efforts.

That's quite a slogan. Most politicians at least pretend to draw a distinction between a shoplifter and a serial violent offender. El-Sayed appears to have settled on a more streamlined approach: prison bad, freedom good, details unnecessary.

The webinar itself was a remarkable spectacle. Joining El-Sayed were former prisoners Martin Vargas, a registered sex offender convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl, and LaWanda Hollister, who served 34 years for second-degree murder. It was essentially a campaign event that accidentally wandered into the casting department for a true-crime documentary.

Yet this wasn't an isolated incident. Earlier that year, El-Sayed appeared on a podcast hosted by Joshua Hoe, a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty to soliciting a 14-year-old girl for sex. Rather than treating such a background as disqualifying for public leadership, El-Sayed encouraged Hoe and other former convicts to run for office because their "voice is needed."

One can only imagine the campaign slogan: Experience matters.

Republicans have already seized on El-Sayed's record, portraying him as a far-left ideologue whose political instincts seem permanently trapped inside a graduate seminar on prison abolition. His associations with socialist influencers, anti-Israel activists, and various progressive causes have already raised eyebrows. But telling voters that prisons themselves are the problem may be the kind of argument that sounds better in an activist Zoom call than in a general election.

After all, most Americans still cling to the quaint and outdated notion that people who commit serious crimes should face serious consequences.

El-Sayed and his allies appear determined to challenge that assumption.

The rest of Michigan may soon have an opportunity to decide whether that vision represents criminal justice reform or simply criminal justice surrender.

Democrats Shocked To Learn Man They Swore Was "Sharp As Ever" May Have Been Slightly Less Sharp Than A Butter Knife

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stunning development that has left millions of Americans pretending to be surprised, former Democratic fundraiser Lindy Li [not to be confused with Lucy Lu] announced she will soon reveal the identities of party insiders who allegedly knew President Joe Biden was struggling cognitively while simultaneously assuring the public he was operating at peak mental performance.

Li, who has since fled the Democratic Party like a passenger spotting smoke in the cockpit, says her upcoming book Unburdened will expose a cast of political figures who privately worried about Biden's condition while publicly insisting that videos of him wandering off, freezing mid-sentence, and shaking hands with invisible people were merely examples of his unique leadership style.

"Whatever was out there, it wasn’t the truth. They wanted him to go, and also in my book, I will be telling people exactly who was aware of Biden’s cognitive decline but pretended otherwise," Li told Fox News Digital. [It's like blowing the lid off the aluminum siding industry, eh.]

According to Li, the Democratic establishment spent years perfecting the difficult art of watching the same events as everyone else and then claiming those events never happened.

One of the names reportedly appearing in the book is the execrable Sen. Adam Schiff, who allegedly expressed concerns privately while maintaining public support until Biden's debate performance made denial roughly as credible as insisting a raccoon was qualified to perform open-heart surgery.

"I remember getting a text from Schiff," Li said.

"I have it in my book. Basically, Adam Schiff was — I can’t remember what he said on TV, but I’m telling you right now that behind the scenes he very much wanted [Biden] to go."

A spokesperson for Schiff responded by noting that Schiff eventually voiced concerns publicly after Biden's now-famous debate performance, which featured several moments that caused viewers to wonder whether their television signal had frozen.

"The Senator’s concerns and call on President Biden to not run was very public, so none of this is news," the spokesperson said.

Li claims many Democrats remained silent because challenging Biden would have been politically dangerous, particularly after party polling suggested that no rival had enough support to overcome the incumbent. In other words, they put personal ambitions ahead of the security of the nation.

"They didn’t want to get ostracized by the party. It’s like the axiom: you come at the king; you better not miss. Everyone would have missed," Li said.

Party insiders reportedly concluded that opposing Biden was a risky proposition, especially when access to donor money, committee assignments, and favorable media coverage hung in the balance.

"There are many candidates who polled themselves against Biden and then realized that they couldn’t beat him in a primary. It wasn’t a matter so much of anti-Trumpism. It was self-interest," Li said.

"I’ve seen the polling data, and I also include that in my book, polling no one has seen before."

Li also claims internal polling suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris was viewed as a weak successor, despite years of media coverage assuring Americans she was both historically groundbreaking and universally beloved.

"She was the weakest candidate in the field," Li said.

"I also have polling data right before Kamala ascended. We stacked her against Buttigieg, Newsom, Shapiro, Whitmer — all of them," Li said.

Political analysts say the revelations confirm what many voters had suspected: that the greatest bipartisan achievement of the Biden era may have been convincing a large portion of Washington to ignore what millions of Americans could plainly see on their television screens.

Still, Li insists the story is more complicated than simple political calculation. She says Biden's personal relationships inspired genuine loyalty among longtime allies.

"He had decades of loyalty, his bond with people like James Clyburn," Li explained.

"There’s something about Joe Biden. He was incredibly kind," Li said.

At press time, Democratic strategists were reportedly scrambling to determine whether claiming they had always been concerned about Biden's condition might be more politically viable than insisting once again that videos of Biden appearing confused were actually sophisticated right-wing deepfakes.

Chuck Schumer: "At least it isn't the really bad Nazi tattoo"

Oh golly, it's just a tattoo

WASHINGTON—In a display of rock-solid sleazy Democratic principles, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Tuesday that he remains fully committed to scandal-plagued Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, immediately quashing any naïve hopes that the party might pivot to someone who hasn't allegedly turned their campaign into a Tinder spin-off.

"I met with Graham Platner today," Schumer declared, repeating the sentence exactly five times like a malfunctioning animatronic at a very awkward Disney ride. "We're gonna beat Susan Collins and take back the Senate. Did I mention I met with him? Because I did. Five times. And that tattoo, what's it called again, oh yeah the Totenkopf, at least it isn't a swastika. They're evil. This tattoo is no big deal, and I say that as a proud Jew."

 
When reporters, exhibiting a shocking level of journalistic curiosity, pressed Schumer on whether the endorsement might budge in light of Platner's colorful extracurricular activities, the Senator simply stared into the middle distance and began humming the Democratic Party fight song.

Sources confirm he then mumbled something about "moving forward together" before power-walking toward the nearest exit.

Platner's campaign has been mired in what polite society calls "a teensy bit of controversy" for months. Recent reports revealed the candidate had been enthusiastically sexting at least six women while married, a hobby he apparently balanced alongside maintaining an active account on Kik, the anonymous messaging app beloved by America's youth and, apparently, married politicians with poor impulse control. 

Law enforcement has charmingly nicknamed the platform a "predator's paradise," which is exactly the brand vibe every Senate campaign dreams of.

Platner's wife, sweet Amy, got paid almost $30 thousand to go along with the program, and she did.

Since the sordid details emerged, Platner has displayed the political courage of a man who just remembered he left the oven on, ducking every interview request while campaign staff have taken to physically blocking reporters like overzealous bouncers at a particularly seedy club.

The Maine Democratic primary is set for next Tuesday, June 9, giving voters just enough time to decide whether they're comfortable nominating a guy whose campaign strategy seems heavily inspired by "delete your search history" rather than, say, policy positions.

Democrats remain confident that Maine voters will overlook the whole "sexting married guy on a predator app" situation because, at this point, what even is a scandal anymore? As one anonymous party strategist put it, "At least he wasn't on Truth Social."

AOC shows her true feelings about Jews

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Communist-Queens) is now opposed to funding defensive shields that could save the lives of innocent civilians, but only "if they are Israelis."

Seems like she is trying to win back the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America that spurned her in 2024 for not hating the Jewish state enough. Or maybe she is just showing her true colors, which seems more probable.

Her re-hardened anti-Israel position comes even though she is not facing any significant opposition in her re-election campaign, which raises and spends so much money it is more like a good-sized business than a scrappy Bronx-Queens political operation; she does not need the DSA's endorsement. Remember, New York City residents would vote for dog poo if it's shaped into a "D."

But she got her fellow anti-Semitic socialists/communists mad at her because she abstained from voting to deny funding for Israel's strictly defensive Iron Dome project, which protects Israelis "Jewish and Arab" from the tens of thousands of missiles that have been lobbed from Iran's regional terror proxies.

She did not vote for it, mind you "but not voting against it infuriated the 'anti-Zionists' who think it is unfair that Israel's enemies do not have Iron Domes of their own and have no problem seeing Israeli civilians obliterated."

AOC herself admits the Iron Dome "has proven critical to keep innocent civilians safe from rocket attacks and bombardment." But why should Jews enjoy the safety it offers, she seems to believe.

But that is the problem: The Iron Dome works. 

The pro-Iran, pro-Hezbollah wing of the Democratic Party is bitterly disappointed that so few ballistic missiles have gotten past the Iron Dome to fulfill their AI-fueled fantasies of Tel Aviv burning and civilians dying, including babies.

AOC says Israel can afford to pay for its own defense, which is true, though this objection overlooks the cooperative nature of the Iron Dome project, which is a joint US-Israel venture.

The proposed "Golden Dome" to protect the US homeland draws on the example of the Iron Dome, and involvement in Israel's missile defense gives us an invaluable source of real-life war-fighting technical data.

AOC's resumption of strident anti-Israel dogma will signal other Democrats that they can nudge themselves a few steps in that direction, too, especially the ones who have national ambitions. Already, an increasing number of Democrats, including Gavin Newsom, Cory Booker and Tom Steyer have announced that they will reject contributions from AIPAC because they really want the other side to win when it comes to those, you know, Joooooze!

But denying America's vital ally, Israel, funds for a defensive measure that protects civilian lives is beyond that pale.

AOC has made it absolutely clear where she stands when it comes to the Jewish state and she remains a low intelligence congresswoman with aspirations to run for higher office and bring communism to the USA.

Jimmy Talarico refers to Jesus as a "barefoot rabbi" demands federal land leases for abortion in video

Texas state Rep. James Talarico, who recently won the Democratic [leftist] nomination for U.S. Senate, once advocated for federal land leases to abortion providers and referred to Jesus as a “barefoot rabbi,” a phrase that appears on his Senate campaign site. 

In a 2022 address delivered at the Texas Democratic [leftist] Convention in Dallas, Talarico, a Presbyterian seminary student and former public school teacher, blended personal stories of resilience with a forceful call for Democrats to confront what he described as an existential threat to democracy. He invoked his experiences teaching on San Antonio’s West Side, his mother’s escape from domestic abuse, and Texas Democratic icons to urge aggressive action against “Trumpism” and “fascism.”

Talarico lambasted national Democratic leaders at the time for what he called a lack of resolve in contrast with Texas Democrats’ scrappiness, exemplified by political figures like former President Lyndon Baines Johnson, state Sens. Barbara Jordan and Wendy Davis, and former U.S. Rep. Robert 'Beto' O’Rourke.

“The Democratic Party is the only thing standing between this country and fascism, yet the most our national party leaders can muster is spineless talking points and soulless fundraising emails,” he said. “National Democrats, you know, the ones who fly into Texas to fundraise and then don’t spend a penny of that money in our state. They don’t know how to fight.”

He urged then-President Joe Biden, whom he said “saved our nation” from President Donald Trump following the 2020 election, to once and for all 'restore its soul by defeating Trumpism.' “We need you and our nation’s leaders to start using every tool in the toolbox to protect our freedom. Lease federal land to abortion providers, declare a public health emergency, impeach justices who lied under oath, prosecute Trump and his fellow insurrectionists, and finally, call the filibuster what it is, a Jim Crow relic that’s standing between the American people and cheap prescription drugs, universal pre-K and a livable planet.”

In his speech, Talarico framed the political fight in explicitly Christian terms, referring to Jesus as “a barefoot rabbi” who gave two commandments: love God and love neighbor. A review by The Christian Post of Talarico’s campaign website found additional references to Jesus as a “barefoot rabbi.”

CP reached out to Talarico’s campaign for comment on Tuesday.

The 2022 speech, which Talarico has echoed in his current Senate campaign materials emphasizing a “top versus bottom” divide and the need to “flip tables” of injustice, has resurfaced following his victory over U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), in the March 3 Democratic primary. He now awaits the winner of the May 26 Republican runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton.

In a March 13 interview on Fox News’ “The Brian Kilmeade Show,” Trump took aim at Talarico’s campaign, calling the candidate “whacked out with his six different forms of gender.” The president appeared to refer to a 2021 statement by Talarico in which he said God is “both masculine, feminine and everything in between.”

Calling Talarico’s statement an “insult to Jesus,” Trump added, “He is so woke. He’s beyond woke. … When you see what this guy said about gender and about other topics …” While Trump has backed off an earlier pledge to endorse in the May 3 runoff vote between Cornyn and Paxton, he called Talarico’s defeat of Crockett “good news” for either candidate.

Dems Use Obese Woman to Court Male Voters

She's hot, but then again, she's always hot

After four disastrous years and a poor showing in the 2024 election, the Democratic Party is on a mission to win back male voters. However, their strategy has raised eyebrows, with many questioning how they plan to attract young men.

Young male voters, especially those under 30, are increasingly abandoning the Democratic Party. Polls reveal a widening gender gap, with men trending conservative while women continue to support Democrats. 

According to a recent Harvard Youth Poll, approval of Congressional Democrats among 18- to 29-year-olds has dropped 19 points since 2017, falling from 42 to 23 percent. Meanwhile, approval of Congressional Republicans in the same age group has increased slightly, from 28 to 29 percent. 

This is the first time in years that Republicans have surpassed Democrats in youth approval ratings.

The Left's conception of bright and beautiful

Are you Curious to know the left’s strategy to win back male voters? Hiring a female Democrat activist to attract men back to the party. While you might expect them to pick a young, attractive woman to appeal to young men, they instead chose morbidly obese left-wing content creator Olivia Julianna.

Not only is she about 500 pounds, or a quarter of a ton, but Julianna said that she has spent a lot of time on college campuses and found that young men, particularly frat boys, are almost always pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, and support Black Lives Matter.

What has she been smoking?  

“I spend a lot of time on college campuses . . . I love young men. I love frat guys, and in that, I realize, even the ones who identify as conservative are almost always pro-choice. [Yeah, sure.] Almost always pro-gay marriage. You'd be surprised at the number of them who supported Black Lives Matter. [Yes, we all would be surprised.] I feel like people kind of just lump them into this box when the truth is, again, a lot of them are with us on the issues. They're just not part of our coalition because they feel like they're not welcome," Julianna told Micah Erfan during an interview.

However, her claims are so full of crap, they would make a farmer's manure-spreader break down.

According to a Gallup poll, only 49 percent of men identify as pro-choice, with support declining further among younger age groups. Additionally, a Pew Research survey found that just 42 percent of white men support the Black Lives Matter movement, while 82 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters oppose it.

Alex Marlow, host of the “Alex Marlow Show,” criticized the Democrats’ strategy, saying it’s telling that they chose to feature someone “500 pounds” claiming to love frat guys to appeal to young men. He also argued that the left’s approach is ineffective and pointed out the stark contrast to when Democrats previously relied on major celebrities to promote their message.

Men tend to be attracted to women who weigh less than them and who don't lie whenever their lips move.

NYC may ignore ICE detainer on illegal alien who allegedly set woman on fire in subway

Poor misunderstood illegal alien dirtbag

There are moments when the sheer barbarity of our modern world breaks through the numbing haze of daily life and demands our unflinching attention. Such a moment occurred in late December at the Coney Island subway station in Brooklyn, New York, where an illegal alien named Sebastian Zapeta, 33, allegedly committed an act of such unspeakable depravity that it shakes the very foundations of our civilized pretensions. 

According to authorities and video evidence, Zapeta set fire to a sleeping woman, Debrina Kawam, engulfing her in flames as she stood helpless in a subway car. He even went so far as to literally fan the flames as she was dying.

 "It’s the most depraved act that a human being can commit against another person," said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem this week.

The details are as harrowing as they are grotesque. "The suspect used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch revealed at a press conference. 

Video footage captured by a fellow passenger shows Zapeta watching his victim burn alive, while others—including, astonishingly, a police officer—walked by without intervening. Officers and a transit worker eventually attempted to extinguish the flames, but Kawam perished at the scene, her body so ravaged that identification took over a week. Meanwhile, "unbeknownst to the officers who responded, the suspect had stayed on the scene and was seated on a bench on the platform just outside the train car," Tisch noted, adding that the killer’s image was caught in stark clarity by police body cameras. Three high school students, to their credit, recognized Zapeta and alerted authorities.

Zapeta now faces charges of murder and arson, but the story does not end with his apprehension. For here emerges a secondary outrage, one that exposes the moral rot festering within certain corners of American governance. 

Secretary Noem, who visited the site of this atrocity, revealed on X a scandal that ought to incense every citizen who still believes in justice: "ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the NYC Department of Corrections to take this depraved alien into custody. Because of current sanctuary city policy, the corrections department has indicated it will NOT honor the detainer." 

Yes, you read that correctly—New York City officials, cloaked in the sanctimonious garb of progressive virtue, intend to defy federal authorities and shield this alleged scumbag from deportation proceedings. "This is disgusting," Noem rightly fumed. "New York politicians are allowing the murder of their own citizens." She called on New York Governor Hochul (D) to issue an emergency suspension of unconstitutional sanctuary protections, a plea that, as of now, seems destined to fall on deaf ears.

Let us consider the implications. Zapeta slipped into the United States illegally in 2018, was swiftly deported during the first Trump administration, and then re-entered undetected, eventually taking up residence in a New York migrant shelter. 

Sanctuary policies, designed ostensibly to protect the vulnerable, have instead become a shield for the vicious, thwarting detainers meant to ensure that men like Zapeta face the consequences of their crimes beyond our borders. In their refusal to cooperate with ICE, even in cases of violent offenders, New York’s leaders have made a chilling calculation: the ideological purity of their sanctuary dogma outweighs the lives of their own people. That is, the left places more importance on their ideology than the lives of their constituents. 

This is not mere policy disagreement—it is a betrayal of the social contract, a surrender to savagery under the guise of compassion. 

Debrina Kawam’s death, horrific in its randomness and brutality, stands as a rebuke to those who would prioritize political posturing over human lives. "NY Governor Hochul should impose an emergency suspension of sanctuary protection by executive order NOW," Noem insisted, and the urgency of her words echoes in the ashes of that subway car. For if we cannot protect our citizens from such evil—if we instead coddle it, excuse it, and release it back into our midst—then what is the point of our laws, our leaders, or our civilization itself?

The Democratic Party has become the party of lunatics.

Oh those early days of Trump, Hemingway style

Trump protects Secret Service personnel in Butler, PA

In those early days, the White House held a silence heavy with lessons yet unlearned. The second term of President Donald Trump brought clarity, like the crisp edge of dawn. The choice of good governance stood in stark contrast to the shadow of the previous four years, marked by the Biden regime's reluctance to act decisively.

Trump, always consumed by the border's dust and heat, showed his intent swiftly. Orders swept through Washington on that chill January 20, 2025, reversing Biden's open-hand approach. The numbers spoke loud in the desert wind: illegal crossings plummeted.

“Border Patrol recorded just 582 illegal crossings at the southern border yesterday, with not a single one of the nine sectors hitting 200. I’ve never seen anything this low in all of my border coverage,” Fox’s Bill Melugin reported. “The numbers were already flat/low in Biden’s final week, bouncing between 1200-1400 illegal crossings daily, but the numbers have been falling off a cliff since Trump took office.”

Of the young ones lost to the bureaucracy of Health and Human Services, 75,000 found their way back from the shadows.

Biden once claimed, "I've done all I can do. Just give me the power. Give me the border patrol. Give me the people. The judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right." But in truth, what he craved was a grand pardon clothed in border security, aiming to swell Democratic ranks for ages untold.

Yet in a mere handful of mornings under Trump's command, the charade was unmasked. Biden and his echo chamber in Capitol halls had claimed Congress must “do its job,” proclaiming helplessness. But it was all a fiction, a grand deception. Meanwhile, criminal shadows slipped through the cracks, a silent wound in the homeland.

Trump also took the chisel to wasteful spending. Freezing funds for vain exertions -- those entwined with Diversity, Equity, Inclusion -- demanded federal workers return to the office or lose their shirts.

Action pierced the silence, a startling contrast.

For Democrats, governing meant feeding their beast -- a misappropriation of time and resource for ideological whims. Government, a means to cleanse currency for what private hands would never sustain. Left flank radicals captured apparatus and funds, pouring them into woke causes that sought to unravel the frame of America. But Trump stripped this away, reminding those who cast their lot with him that the choice had been just and true.

The first two weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term in the White House have taught us a number of things, with no doubt many lessons are still to come.

The most glaring after just 11 days is that good governance is a choice and one former President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party refused to make over the past four years.

Trump’s top issue, illegal immigration, gives us a number of examples of how.

Since Trump signed a number of executive orders on January 20, 2025, reversing Biden’s open border policies, illegal crossings have cratered.

“Border Patrol recorded just 582 illegal crossings at the southern border yesterday, with not a single one of the nine sectors hitting 200. I’ve never seen anything this low in all of my border coverage,” Fox News Bill Melugin recently posted on X. “The numbers were already flat/low in Biden’s final week, bouncing between 1200-1400 illegal crossings daily, but the numbers have been falling off a cliff since Trump took office.”

On the same topic, of the 300,000 children who were brought illegally into the country and lost by the Department of Health and Human Services, 75,000 have been located.

"I've done all I can do. Just give me the power. Give me the border patrol. Give me the people. The judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right," Biden claimed in January 2024.

What Biden really wanted was a mass amnesty bill disguised as border security legislation to pass, with a goal of codifying Democratic political power for generations to come.

The results from just two weeks of the Trump administration and leadership from the President prove Biden’s repeated claims, which were echoed by his White House press secretary and Democrats on Capitol Hill, that Congress needed to “do its job” and that there was “nothing he could do,” were totally bogus. In fact, it was a big lie and one that inflicted harm on the country with an influx of violent criminal aliens.

Moving onto government spending, Trump sent the left into a panic this week when he froze funds for unnecessary and counterproductive projects – from Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs to forcing federal employees back to the office if they want to keep their jobs.

The flurry of action strikes a severe contrast.

Democrats don’t see government service as a way to govern on behalf of constituents, but instead as a way to use the tax dollars, earned with valuable time resources belonging to Americans, to fund their ideological pet projects. They use government as a way to launder money for schemes that would never survive in the private sector. Government everywhere has been hijacked by leftist activists who launder the hard-earned tax dollars of Americans to fund their woke, anti-America projects. Trump is ending this free-for-all and reminding voters they made the right choice at the ballot box in November.

Democrat to Republican switch due to "failure to support Israel"

Kennedy's blonde sister?

Florida State Representative Hillary Cassel, who represented the 101st district since 2022, issued a statement Friday saying that she is leaving the Democratic Party to join the Republican Party. A lawyer, Cassel is the second Democrat to jump ship this month.

In the statement, Cassel said the Democratic Party does not support Israel and she went on to blast their progressive anti-Semites for condoning terrorism.

“As a proud Jewish woman, I have been increasingly troubled by the Democratic Party’s failure to unequivocally support Israel and its willingness to tolerate extreme progressive voices that justify or condone acts of terrorism.”

“I’m constantly troubled by the inability of the current Democratic Party to relate to everyday Floridians. I can no longer remain in a party that doesn’t represent my values.”

The announcement comes on the heels of another defection by a Florida Democrat, who shows that you don't have to be Jewish to hate Jew haters.

On December 9th, State Rep. Susan Valdés switched her affiliation from Democrat to Republican, bolstering the GOP’s supermajority in the former battleground state’s House of Representatives.

Former President and now President-elect Donald Trump praised Cassel.

“Congratulations to Hillary Cassel for becoming the second State Representative from the Great State of Florida to switch her Party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, once more expanding the GOP Supermajority in the State House!” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social account Saturday.

“I would further like to invite other Disillusioned Democrats to switch Parties, and join us on this noble quest to Save our Country and, Make America Great Again – GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. THANK YOU HILLARY!”

It's electric.

Weekend at Bernie's President gone from spending bill negotiations and the Dems don't care

Fun Fact: The nation's debt at last count is $36,167,604,149,955.61. If one were to count that high, saying each number one second apart without stopping, it would take about 1,146,079 YEARS! No joke. I'm serious, as Joe Biden would mumble.

And now as our nearly useless government is in the throes of yet another possible shutdown over negotiations with a spending bill, the Democrats are just fine with the absence of the so called President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden from the wheeling and dealings, according to a new report.

"Biden has remained conspicuously absent outside a brief statement issued by his press secretary — and for now, Democrats said there was little clamor for him to return," Politico reported Thursday, just a day after Elon Musk and President-elect  Trump scuttled the first bipartisan spending bill.

Despite the race to avert a government shutdown, as we see every Christmas season it seems, "no one seemed to be looking to Biden for answers — and the lame-duck president gave no indication he had any desire to provide them," the article read.

Well of course. Everyone knows and has known for several years, that Joe Biden is suffering from dementia. It took a debate with Trump to finally take it to a point where it could no longer be covered up by the Democratic Party and the media. 

In fact, the only people surprised by Biden's cognitive decline were the people on The View and their audience. The Dems along with Kamala Harris, knew Joe was like a head of broccoli but covered up for him and refused to use the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.

"I haven’t gotten any message from President Biden, or heard of anything that he’s saying," California Democratic Rep. Mark Takano told Politico, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wouldn't say he's been in touch with Biden, only that he's been in "close contact with the administration."

As Politico put it, "Democrats appeared largely fine with Biden taking a back seat," which is what he's done this past year and prior.

And by the way, where is Kamala? Isn't she supposed to be the Vice President?

C'mon man.

Pittsburgh's Jewish Dems see Trump as a better option after Harris kisses up to anti-Israel/anti-Semitic politicians in PA

PITTSBURGH – The Jewish community in Pittsburgh is sending a strong message to the Harris-Walz campaign as the election nears: continue to align with those who oppose Israel, and expect to lose votes from Jewish Democrats.

The controversy began when the Harris campaign invited speakers to their rallies who attributed the October 7 attacks, which resulted in 1,400 Israeli civilian deaths, to Israel itself, despite the Jewish community's explicit objections.

"These pleas were ignored," a source involved in the discussions told The Post. The campaign proceeded to feature Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato, both of whom have been criticized for implying, alongside Rep. Summer Lee, that the violence wasn't initiated by Hamas on October 7.

"The violence did not start on October 7th." - A statement co-signed by Gainey and Innamorato.
This statement, issued on the anniversary of the attacks, drew immediate backlash from Jewish leaders in Pittsburgh, where a significant portion of Pennsylvania's Jewish population resides and is ready to vote.

With such votes at stake, the Democratic Party's association with anti-Israel figures might cost them Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes, potentially deciding the 2024 presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.

This scenario isn't far-fetched. Several Jewish Democrats in Pittsburgh have voiced feelings of betrayal by their party, contemplating voting for Trump instead.

Aviva Lubowsky, a mother of two, while not switching her vote, highlighted the risk:

"If the Democratic Party wants to retain its Jewish voter base, they have to eschew and denounce extremists in the party," she said. "The rhetoric they are using is dangerous for the safety of my children. It’s causing people who would otherwise vote for [Harris], to vote for Trump."
Jennifer Murtazashvili, a Jewish political scientist, noted the broader shift:

"The mainstream progressive left has a major problem on its hands," she remarked, indicating that many in her circles are leaning towards Trump due to doubts about Harris' commitment to Israel and fighting anti-Semitism.

The discontent is palpable, with a significant portion of Jewish voters showing less enthusiasm for Democrats than at any time since the Reagan years.

A Jewish Democratic voter expressed the community's frustration:

"There are undecided voters in the Jewish community where I never thought they’d be," he said, mentioning encounters at holiday services where traditional Democrats are now unsure.
The sentiment was echoed by another voter considering Trump:

Summer Lee 

"They obviously understood how dangerous it would be for Summer to be there," she criticized the campaign's strategy, pointing to the careful navigation around Rep. Lee's involvement.
The fear of a Harris administration not adequately preventing Iran from nuclear capability was also a significant concern driving some towards Trump.

These issues resonate deeply in Pittsburgh, where the memory of the 2018 Tree of Life synagogue shooting, the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history, lingers, alongside recent attacks on Jewish students.

Despite this, some like Audrey Glickman, a survivor of the Tree of Life tragedy, still support Harris:

"Kamala Harris is not a Squad member. She’s been to Pittsburgh more than once and talked to us more than once and has worked on antisemitism as an issue," Glickman defended Harris, expressing disappointment in the local leaders' rhetoric.
However, for others like Lubowsky, who still wishes for Harris to win, the Democratic Party must act to reclaim support:

"I have never voted for a Republican in my entire life. I will be for the first time this election," Lubowsky declared, planning to vote for Republican James Hayes in the local election.
This election cycle reveals a historic shift, with American liberal Jews feeling politically homeless.

Candace Owens to headline Trump fundraiser: WTH?

Two anti-Semites jumping on the bed, one fell down and hit his head

I don't know what Donald Trump Jr. is thinking. He is preparing to headline his father's campaign 

fundraiser on Friday in Nashville, TN. Featured at the event is prominent far-right pundit and anti-Semite Candace Owens. 

This cannot be good for the Trump campaign, having Owens who recently amplified the ancient worn out blood libel against Jews, downplayed the Holocaust and defended Nick Fuentes, a disgusting white nationalist,  among other racist remarks.

Owens is an ardent Trump supporter who had worked for the Daily Wire but eventually was let go due to her anti-Semitic rhetoric which didn't sit well with founder Ben Shapiro, an orthodox Jew. She had served as a weekday host but pressure mounted as her antisemitic rhetoric and empty headed criticism of Israel bubbled up like a puss pimple after the Oct. 7 attacks on Israelis. 

So Don Junior has a scheduled appearance with the brazen Jew hater on Friday, while the former President's daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, have appeared to publicly distance themselves from Trump.

And while I don't see any evidence whatsoever that the former President is an anti-Semite or anti-Zionist, [all evidence points to the contrary], there is clear evidence that some in the GOP harbor anti-Jewish sentiment such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, who suggested California wildfires were caused by space lasers controlled by a Jewish banking family.  And the lieutenant gov. of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, invoked anti-Semitic stereotypes, hinted at Holocaust denial, and downplayed the Nazi atrocities.

Of course, Trump invited some Jewish students to speak at the convention as well. And let us not kid ourselves: the Democratic Party has a butt-load of anti-Semites compared to the GOP.

I just don't know what Don Jr. was thinking. Candace Owens is a disgraceful wretched woman.

"Squad" dork attended fundraiser hosted by Islamist who praised Oct. 7 attack

Rep[ulsive] Jamaal Bowman, (D-NY) who pulled a fire alarm in order to interfere with congressional business, is also a member of the so called "squad," a group of far-left anti-Semitic dolts who had no problem with Hamas brutally slaughtering, torturing, raping and kidnapping Israelis on October 7. Bowman, however, took his anti-Semitism even further when he attended a fundraiser co-hosted by Nihad Awad, the devoted Jew-hating, America-hating, national executive director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). This scumbag said he was "happy to see" the attack that killed 1,200 innocent Israelis.

[H/T Fox News.]

Awad [aka Dickwad] claimed last year that Israel "does not have a right to self-defense."

"The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege – the walls of the concentration camp – on Oct. 7," Awad said during the 16th annual Convention for Palestine on Nov. 24 near Chicago. "And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in."

He continued, "And yes, the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense, have the right to defend themselves. And yes, Israel as an occupying power does not have that right to self-defense."

So killing women, children and babies is 'self-defense'? What bull-crap. 

Even members of his own Party think Bowman, who represents New York's 16th Congressional District, went over the top by attending the May 1 fundraiser in Fairfax, VA. Her obviously wasn't taken aback by Awad's presence. The Biden administration had to moonwalk in reverse to distance themselves from CAIR after Awad spouted his twisted comments, now stating they are removing CAIR from its publicly listed pledge to fight anti-Semitism. 

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital in a statement, "We condemn these shocking, Antisemitic statements in the strongest terms."

"The horrific, brutal terrorist attacks committed by Hamas on October 7th were, as President Biden said, ‘abhorrent’ and represent ‘unadulterated evil,’" Mister Bates said.

"October 7th was the deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust," he continued. "The atrocities of that day shock the conscience, which is why we can never forget the pain Hamas has caused for so many innocent people."

"There are families who are in agony mourning loved ones, and there are also families in agony as they do everything in their power to free loved ones being held hostage," Bates said. "Every leader has a responsibility to call out Antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head."

Ahead of the fundraiser, [Dick]Awad praised Bowman on X as  "a staunch defender of Palestinian rights" [except for the rights of the Jewish people] and asked people to attend the fundraiser and pay them money for their journey to rid the world of Jews. 

Bowman answered the call.

This is your Democratic Party.

Bowman is facing what will likely be a tough primary battle on June 25, against George Latimer, who serves as a Westchester County executive and previously served in the New York State Assembly and state Senate.

Babbling Biden Blasts Teleprompter Guy: needs a rewind of words

When President Joe Biden speaks, everybody listens . . . and waits for the next gaffe. It usually doesn't take very long and the left doesn't seem to care as they pretend to not notice.

Thursday was Greek Independence Day and Biden hosting a reception in the East Room of the White House. It isn't clear why this Greek celebration should get White House recognition, but it gives something for the President to do without having to make real decisions. After all, the only thing he needed to do was flash his signature denture smile and read from the teleprompter a speech the person actually running the country wrote.

Not surprisingly, Biden made himself the topic of discussion, like he always does. He was raised in the Jewish community where he went to synagogue, a Puerto Rican community, and yes, the Black community where he grew up in a Black church. He appropriates cultures like Hunter appropriates drugs and prostitutes.

BIDEN: "The only reason I'm able to stand here is because of the Greek community. That's not hyperbole!" pic.twitter.com/rOrpqZhCcl— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 4, 2024

He's right--it isn't hyperbole--it bull crap. It isn't as if the Greek vote pulled him over the line in the 2020 election. It's just Biden's way of pandering to every group he can find, which is difficult for a geriatric brain addled man who needs help finding his way off stage.

While he mumbled to the guests, he began talking to his teleprompter guy after he got lost in the jumbled jasmine of the words in front of him. He ordered his snuffy to move the words back because somehow he experienced a brain fart and needed to start part of his pandering all over.

A confused Biden orders the teleprompter operator to "move all that back" pic.twitter.com/NIZFjNCsZc— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 4, 2024

I don't know what it would take for the Democratic Party to conclude that they need to help the GOP remove him from office. But they know that he isn't the one running the country; it's probably someone in a bunny suit or Obama not in his bunny suit.

BIDEN (confused — again): "...in the Biden-Obama, the O'Biden..." pic.twitter.com/KWqRty6knu— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 4, 2024

Biden went on to replay his lie that he traveled "17,000 miles" with Xi Jinping and stood with him on the Tibetan plateau. In truth, it was more likely he and Doctor Jill went to a Chinese takeout before he was elected president, lost their way and the man behind the counter went outside with them and pointed down the block to where they needed to go.

BIDEN: "I was once asked by Xi Jinping, and I traveled 17,000 miles with him — I was out at the Tibetan plateau..."

RedState [and others] debunked that claim multiple times. It simply didn't happen, but that hasn't stopped the houseplant from telling the story over and over. He's told it so many times that even Democratic Party operative, The Washington Post couldn't ignore it any longer and offered a correction.

A White House official conceded that Biden’s line of “traveling with” Xi is not accurate. “This was a reference to the total travel back and forth — both internally in the U.S. and China, and as well as internationally — for meetings they held together,” he said. “Some travel was in parallel, some was separately to joint destinations.”

But there are no consequences to Biden's lies to the public. He's just a homey old man with a great set of dentures that Nancy Pelosi would be proud of, and what's the big deal with a little white lie once in a paragraph?
