Senate Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement on a temporary spending plan this afternoon but that doesn't guarantee the government won't shut down. The house still has to vote. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What is the purpose of a federal government that not only fails to protect our border but actively subverts it? We're joined today by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, who warns that the number of people bum-rushing our border is unlimited. There are millions of Venezuelans living as a diaspora throughout Latin America, and they have all been invited by the Biden administration. He also explains how Border Patrol is actively helping the invaders subvert Texas' security measures. This is why we absolutely need a budget fight this week. I preview the details of the latest budget bills and how Senate Republicans are actively harming our ability to focus on the border or any other important issue. Also, at some point we cannot allow federal control over immigration to become a suicide pact to deny states the right to self-defense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When state lawmakers returned to Raleigh last week, the word on the street was that, at last, two-and-a-half months into the new state fiscal year, a budget agreement between House and Senate Republicans had finally been achieved. As it turned out, however, this rumor proved inaccurate as a dispute over whether to introduce casino gambling […] The post Rep. Marcia Morey on the budget saga, casino gambling, gun violence, and election law changes appeared first on NC Newsline.

MSNBC's Jen Psaki Compares Unborn Babies to Broccoli, Lumps of Coal On Sunday’s edition of Inside with Jen Psaki, the former Biden press secretary mocked a Republican strategy session where pollsters suggested the term “pro-life” isn’t helping the GOP, so they suggested the term “pro-baby” instead. This spurred Psaki to compare babies to....broccoli and a lump of coal. And to think it’s terribly dehumanizing to call a biological male “he” and “his.” Apparently, comparing a baby to broccoli and lumps of coal is good, swaggering comedy. Democrats have suggested abortion is about a "choice," not a child. The act of abortion is far more dehumanizing than language. https://twitter.com/i/status/1700914367326269442 - Play Video "The branding isn’t the problem here! The policy is the problem, it is hard to roll out an effective rebrand for a product that customers hate.” … you heard that right. The "product" is saving babies from the Planned Parenthood slaughterhouse. Democrats get piles of money and logistical support from the slaughterhouse operators. Psaki was touting an NBCNews.com story which underlined Psaki was doing the usual DNC messaging. The headline was "Democrats say Republican effort to rebrand 'pro-life' won't persuade voters." This story, based on anonymous Senate Republicans, contained all the Democrat arguments that Psaki made in this segment. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-confirms-more-than-100b-in-taxpayer-resources-spent-on-ukraine White House confirms more than $100B spent on Ukraine war The White House confirmed the Biden administration has spent more than $100 billion on the war in Ukraine, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital. The information came as a response from the White House’s Office of Management and Budget to Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio and more than 30 Senate Republicans who demanded in January a "full crosscutting" report on security assistance provided to Ukraine. Fox News Digital obtained the OMB letter and spreadsheet responding to Vance more than 7 months later. OMB Director Shalanda Young penned a letter to Vance explaining the security assistance the United States has provided to Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022. "With bipartisan Congressional support, the United States has provided security, economic, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine as it continues to fight to defend its sovereignty following Russia’s brutal invasion," Young wrote. "This support has been critical to Ukraine’s success on the battlefield, as well as the ability of its people to endure under harsh conditions." Young stressed that President Biden "has made clear" that the United States "will not waver in our commitment to the Ukrainian people as they fight for their freedom and independence." Young told Vance that Biden administration officials "agree that transparency and accountability are paramount to ensuring American taxpayers can be confident in their assistance in helping the Ukrainians fight for their country against Russia’s aggression." Young provided Vance a "table that details supplemental funding provided in support of Ukraine in addition to current obligation levels, which OMB shared with Congress" in August. The table shows that a total of $101,198,000,000 has been obligated/executed by the Office of Management and Budget. In addition to the $101.2 billion already spent, the spreadsheet appears to outline plans to spend an additional $9.8 billion. The table breaks down the spending from the Department of Defense; Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative; State Department; and other federal agencies providing aid. Earlier this year, the Pentagon requested an additional $6 billion due to an accounting error at the Department of Defense. Vance and Sen. Josh Hawley introduced legislation soon after to prevent such mistakes from being repeated. In addition to the more than $100 billion already spent in Ukraine, the White House last month asked Congress to authorize an additional $24 billion. Biden's request comprises $13 billion for defense and $11 billion for economic and humanitarian aid in Ukraine. https://justthenews.com/accountability/whistleblowers/whistleblower-says-cia-officials-were-paid-change-view-covid Whistleblower says CIA officials were paid to change view that COVID originated in Wuhan lab Most officers on the CIA's COVID Discovery Team concluded that the coronavirus originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, but they changed their positions after receiving a monetary incentive, a senior-level CIA agent told Congress. The whistleblower informed Coronavirus Pandemic Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Brad Wenstrup and Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Turner that at the end of the CIA's COVID review, "six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China," the Ohio Republicans wrote in a letter Tuesday to CIA Director William Burns. The team's seventh member, who was the most senior person, was the only person to believe that the virus originated from an animal, the lawmakers also said. "The whistleblower further contends that to come to the eventual public determination of uncertainty, the other six members were given a significant monetary incentive to change their position," the chairmen wrote. The allegations, which stemmed from a "seemingly credible source" require Congress to investigate how the CIA handled its investigation of COVID's origins, according to the lawmakers. The Republicans are demanding the CIA hand over information to their committees as part of their probe, and they threatened to use "additional tools and authorities to satisfy our legislative and oversight requirements" if the agency does not comply. https://news.usni.org/2023/09/09/u-s-canadian-warships-transit-taiwan-strait-2 U.S., Canadian Warships Transit Taiwan Strait An American guided-missile destroyer and a Royal Canadian Navy frigate sailed through the Taiwan Strait in a tandem Saturday transit, U.S. 7th Fleet announced. The Japan-based USS Ralph Johnson and HMCS Ottawa passed through the strait after drilling with Japanese ships in the East China Sea, near Okinawa, USNI News reported on Friday. “The ships transited through a corridor in the strait that is beyond the territorial sea of any coastal state,” reads the statement. “Ralph Johnson and Ottawa’s bilateral transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the commitment of the United States and our allies and partners to a free and open Indo-Pacific.” During an exercise earlier this week, Ralph Johnson and Ottawa sailed with big deck helicopter carrier JS Izumo and destroyer JS Samidare as part of the trilateral exercise Noble Stingray that included anti-submarine warfare drills. A Canadian Broadcasting Corporation crew aboard Ottawa took footage of a People’s Liberation Army Navy guided-missile destroyer shadowing the formation. “The heavily armed Chinese destroyer, the Luyang, closely followed the convoy of ships in the East China Sea, calling out repeatedly to the Canadians on maritime radio, and coming within just over a kilometer of the allied ships,” reads the CBC report. It’s unclear if Hohhot followed Ralph Johnson and Ottawa during their transit. The last reported U.S. surface ship transit was by U.S. Coast Guard cutter Stratton in June. And lastly a little plug for myself! I’ve launched a podcast about my favorite topic, sports! It’s called Game Time with Garrison & Garrett… you can find us on Apple Podcasts, Itunes, Spotify, and Google podcasts! If you’d give it a listen, I’d greatly appreciate you.

Bookmark today's show as we head toward the budget deadline. Today, I lay out the proper messaging and facts on a government shutdown and expose the malfeasance of House and Senate Republicans. I contrast Chip Roy's perfect messaging to what we are hearing from Senate Republicans. We have the ultimate government shutdown with what's going on with spending, culture, border, political persecutions, and vaccine tyranny. Yet we are supposed to refrain from fighting simply because of a delayed paycheck for federal workers? I also explain why fighting on the budget is 100% more strategic and better messaging than pursuing impeachment. Finally, never forget why nearly every red-state Republican is pathetic. It's because conservative influencers value access over influence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
If you thought the pathetically partisan lawfare against President Trump is a travesty, wait until you see what's happening in the state of Texas, and it has the same bad actors to boot! We're going to look at the impeachment trial for the patriot Attorney General Ken Paxton and we're going to find out once again, precisely why the Republican Party establishment can be just as vile and vicious as the Democrats and they are emphatically not our friends. Highlights: “AG Ken Paxton, perhaps the single most loyal, pro-Trump patriot AG in the nation, is being accused of accepting bribes, fraud, and dereliction of duty, accusations that just so happened to emerge right after Paxton started investigating the FBI for corruption! Remember, these people always practice; they always accuse others of the very corruption they practice.” “Paxton committed the unpardonable sin among the ruling elite in Texas - he politically killed off the last Bush in power in Texas! And so, ever since, the whole Bush establishment, with Karl Rove right at the center writing his pathetic donor class drivel for the Wall Street Journal, have been out to destroy Paxton.” Timestamps: [00:49] Attorney General Ken Paxton placed on trial by Senate Republicans [03:01] Paxton beating George P.

It's another EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Noah Kulwin and Brendan James to discuss the most recent season of the Blowback podcast. Then, she's joined by freelance writer Garrison Lovely to discuss his recent piece in The Nation entitled "Confessions of a McKinsey Whistleblower." Emma starts off by reacting to remarks UAW President Shawn Fain made on CNBC, in response to a question about UAW withholding their endorsement of President Biden. Then, she's joined by Noah and Brendan to discuss Season 4 of Blowback, and Emma's devastation that a postscript from the movie "Rambo" did not, in fact, hand it to the mujahideen in Afghanistan, despite the movie being a love letter of sorts to them regardless. Noah dives into some of the history of the mujahideen, and how the U.S. began involvement with them and supporting them as a Cold War battleground state in the conflict against Russia. Brendan breaks down the antecedents to the Iraq and Afghanistan war, and how all of the elements of U.S. involvement in Afghanistan from the 1970's-1990's, especially their support and eventual rejection of the mujahideen, lead directly into the 20+ year conflict that defined the 21s century. Then Emma is joined by Garrison, who discusses his early employment as an intern, and then full-time staffer at McKinsey Consulting, and how it shaped his views on America capitalism. Garrison explains his work involving the carceral state, and how McKinsey tried to make its mark on American prisons, and also dives into some of the absolutely unbelievable corporate-speak that McKinsey has introduced into the lexicon, like "right-sizing", and how those signifiers mask and obscure some of the more insidious characteristics of the work being done at the firm. And in the Fun Half, Emma is joined by Matt Binder and Brandon Sutton and check in on some of the Senate Republicans, like Josh Hawley, who are getting a little antsy about Mitch McConnell's leadership as Minority Leader after his most recent freeze-up. They then dive into Mehdi Hasan's masterful skewering of Vivek Ramaswamy, who was constitutionally incapable of answering why Trump was the best President of his life time, but also a sore loser who committed abhorrent acts on January 6th. They then get into the REAL, hard-hitting news of the day: Tucker Carlson's bombshell interview with convicted felon and serial fabulist Larry Sinclair, who outlined the (most likely fictional) night where he had (alleged) sex with Barack Obama and smoked crack with him (it was actually cocaine, we think.) They top it off by hearing Tim Pool's thoughts on the matter (would it shock you that he compared it to Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against Justice Kavanaugh)? Plus, your calls & IM's!

Ukraine and its Western allies have dismissed the Kremlin’s demands as a ploy to advance its own interests. Still, Putin's remarks dashed hopes that his talks with the Turkish President could revive an agreement seen as vital for global food supplies, especially in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Russia refused to extend the deal in July, complaining that a parallel agreement promising to remove obstacles to Russian exports of food and fertilizer hadn’t been honored. It said restrictions on shipping and insurance hampered its agricultural trade, though it has shipped record amounts of wheat since last year. Putin reiterated those complaints Monday, while also telling reporters that if those commitments were honored, Russia could return to the deal “within days.” The Turkish President also expressed hope that a breakthrough could come soon. He said Turkey and the U.N. — which both brokered the original deal — have put together a new package of proposals to unblock the issue. “I believe that we will reach a solution that will meet the expectations in a short time,” Erdogan said at the news conference held with Putin in the Russian resort of Sochi. Earlier, a German Foreign Minister lashed out, saying Putin's “game with the grain agreement is cynical.” A lot is riding on the negotiation. Ukraine and Russia are major suppliers of wheat, barley, sunflower oil and other goods that developing nations rely on. Data from the Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul, which organized shipments under the deal, show that 57% of the grain from Ukraine went to developing nations, with the top destination being China. Grain prices shot up after Russia pulled out of the deal but have since fallen back, indicating that there isn't a big crunch in the market for the moment. But failure to revive the agreement will have “drastic impacts” in countries such as Somalia and Egypt that rely heavily on Black Sea grain, according to Galip Dalay, an associate fellow at the Chatham House think tank in London. Russia may be hoping it can use its power over Ukraine’s Black Sea exports as a bargaining chip to reduce Western economic sanctions. https://dailycaller.com/2023/09/04/university-michigan-students-hotel-rooms-covid-19/ Major University will Kick Students out of Dorms if they Gev Covid-19 The University of Michigan (UM) is asking students who test positive for COVID-19 to get a hotel room in order to quarantine for five days, according to the university’s website. The university reminded students on Sept. 1 of the school’s rules surrounding COVID-19, suggesting if they are sick stay home, wear masks and get tested, according to the website. The university also asked students to create an “isolation plan” in case they contract COVID-19, noting that no students are allowed in the residence halls if they test positive. “This could include relocating to your permanent residence, staying with a nearby relative or friend, or finding a hotel space. Students in Michigan Housing must leave their residence halls during isolation, even if they are in a single room,” the website reads. The UM Department of Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) is supposed to get in touch with the students within 24 hours to discuss the “care and isolation options,” according to the website. If a student must pay for a hotel room, the university did not clarify on the website whether or not they will compensate the student. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/05/oil-prices-mixed-on-receding-support-from-chinas-steps-to-recovery.html Oil prices settle at 10-month high as Saudi, Russia extend supply cuts Oil prices rose a dollar a barrel on Tuesday to their highest since November, after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended their voluntary supply cuts to the end of the year, worrying investors about potential shortages during peak winter demand. Brent crude futures rose by $1.04, or 1.2%, to settle at $90.04 a barrel, closing above the $90 mark for the first time since November 16, 2022. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude October futures gained $1.14, or 1.3%, to settle at $86.69 a barrel, also a 10-month high. Investors had expected Saudi Arabia and Russia to extend voluntary cuts into October, but the three-month extension was unexpected. Both Saudi Arabia and Russia said they would review the supply cuts monthly, and could modify them depending on market conditions. “With the production cut extended, we anticipate a market deficit of more than 1.5 million barrels per day in 4Q23,” UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo wrote in a note to clients. UBS now expects Brent crude to rise to $95 a barrel by year-end. Reflecting concerns about the short-term market supply, front month Brent and WTI contracts were also trading at their steepest premium since November to later-dated prices. This structure, called backwardation, indicates tightening supply for prompt deliveries. Also supporting oil prices on Tuesday, Goldman Sachs said it now sees the probability of a U.S. recession starting in the next 12 months at 15%, down from an earlier forecast of 20%. Along with the Saudi supply cuts, which began in July, prospects of the U.S. economy avoiding a hard recession have helped lift oil demand and prices in recent months. Both Brent and WTI futures have gained more than 20% since the end of June. In other news… have you guys been noticing Mcconell lately and his freezing episodes? https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/senate/mcconnell-physician-says-no-evidence-seizures-stroke-second-freezing-episode McConnell physician says ‘no evidence’ of seizures or stroke after second freezing episode The attending physician of the Capitol is ruling out a seizure, stroke, or other movement disorder after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had difficulty speaking during a press conference in Kentucky last week. “My examination of you following your August 30, 2023 brief episode included several medical evaluations: brain MRI imaging, EEG study and consultations with several neurologists for a comprehensive neurology assessment,” Dr. Brian P. Monahan said in a new letter released by McConnell's office. “There is no evidence that you have a seizure disorder or that you experienced a stroke, TIA or movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.” The incident occurred last Wednesday when a reporter in Covington, Kentucky, asked him about his political plans when his term is up in 2026. At first, the Senate Republican leader acknowledged the question but trailed off and stopped speaking. An aide stepped in and asked if he had heard the question. McConnell responded "yes" but continued to freeze. This prompted the aide to say, "We're going to need a minute." The senator appeared to regain his composure and then briefly answered two additional questions after aides stepped in to repeat questions from reporters and then led him away. In late July, the minority leader was briefly escorted from the Senate Republicans' weekly press conference after he froze in front of the cameras, the first such public incident. McConnell, 81, was hospitalized earlier this year after suffering a fall that required him to complete physical therapy. He experienced a concussion and a minor rib fracture that sidelined him from the Senate for nearly six weeks. Monahan last week attributed the most recent freezing episode to dehydration and lightheadedness related to his concussion but said he was "medically clear" to continue his duties as usual. The Republican leader's office also had attributed the two freezing moments to “lightheadedness." McConnell was previously hospitalized in 2019 after fracturing his shoulder from a fall on his patio at home. McConnell and the rest of the Senate returns to Washington Tuesday afternoon.

Ukraine and its Western allies have dismissed the Kremlin’s demands as a ploy to advance its own interests. Still, Putin's remarks dashed hopes that his talks with the Turkish President could revive an agreement seen as vital for global food supplies, especially in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Russia refused to extend the deal in July, complaining that a parallel agreement promising to remove obstacles to Russian exports of food and fertilizer hadn’t been honored. It said restrictions on shipping and insurance hampered its agricultural trade, though it has shipped record amounts of wheat since last year. Putin reiterated those complaints Monday, while also telling reporters that if those commitments were honored, Russia could return to the deal “within days.” The Turkish President also expressed hope that a breakthrough could come soon. He said Turkey and the U.N. — which both brokered the original deal — have put together a new package of proposals to unblock the issue. “I believe that we will reach a solution that will meet the expectations in a short time,” Erdogan said at the news conference held with Putin in the Russian resort of Sochi. Earlier, a German Foreign Minister lashed out, saying Putin's “game with the grain agreement is cynical.” A lot is riding on the negotiation. Ukraine and Russia are major suppliers of wheat, barley, sunflower oil and other goods that developing nations rely on. Data from the Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul, which organized shipments under the deal, show that 57% of the grain from Ukraine went to developing nations, with the top destination being China. Grain prices shot up after Russia pulled out of the deal but have since fallen back, indicating that there isn't a big crunch in the market for the moment. But failure to revive the agreement will have “drastic impacts” in countries such as Somalia and Egypt that rely heavily on Black Sea grain, according to Galip Dalay, an associate fellow at the Chatham House think tank in London. Russia may be hoping it can use its power over Ukraine’s Black Sea exports as a bargaining chip to reduce Western economic sanctions. https://dailycaller.com/2023/09/04/university-michigan-students-hotel-rooms-covid-19/ Major University will Kick Students out of Dorms if they Gev Covid-19 The University of Michigan (UM) is asking students who test positive for COVID-19 to get a hotel room in order to quarantine for five days, according to the university’s website. The university reminded students on Sept. 1 of the school’s rules surrounding COVID-19, suggesting if they are sick stay home, wear masks and get tested, according to the website. The university also asked students to create an “isolation plan” in case they contract COVID-19, noting that no students are allowed in the residence halls if they test positive. “This could include relocating to your permanent residence, staying with a nearby relative or friend, or finding a hotel space. Students in Michigan Housing must leave their residence halls during isolation, even if they are in a single room,” the website reads. The UM Department of Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) is supposed to get in touch with the students within 24 hours to discuss the “care and isolation options,” according to the website. If a student must pay for a hotel room, the university did not clarify on the website whether or not they will compensate the student. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/05/oil-prices-mixed-on-receding-support-from-chinas-steps-to-recovery.html Oil prices settle at 10-month high as Saudi, Russia extend supply cuts Oil prices rose a dollar a barrel on Tuesday to their highest since November, after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended their voluntary supply cuts to the end of the year, worrying investors about potential shortages during peak winter demand. Brent crude futures rose by $1.04, or 1.2%, to settle at $90.04 a barrel, closing above the $90 mark for the first time since November 16, 2022. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude October futures gained $1.14, or 1.3%, to settle at $86.69 a barrel, also a 10-month high. Investors had expected Saudi Arabia and Russia to extend voluntary cuts into October, but the three-month extension was unexpected. Both Saudi Arabia and Russia said they would review the supply cuts monthly, and could modify them depending on market conditions. “With the production cut extended, we anticipate a market deficit of more than 1.5 million barrels per day in 4Q23,” UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo wrote in a note to clients. UBS now expects Brent crude to rise to $95 a barrel by year-end. Reflecting concerns about the short-term market supply, front month Brent and WTI contracts were also trading at their steepest premium since November to later-dated prices. This structure, called backwardation, indicates tightening supply for prompt deliveries. Also supporting oil prices on Tuesday, Goldman Sachs said it now sees the probability of a U.S. recession starting in the next 12 months at 15%, down from an earlier forecast of 20%. Along with the Saudi supply cuts, which began in July, prospects of the U.S. economy avoiding a hard recession have helped lift oil demand and prices in recent months. Both Brent and WTI futures have gained more than 20% since the end of June.

That's not just almost all Democrats, but also a majority of the country. Conservatives and centrists warn that prosecuting Trump will further decrease his supporters' trust in the legal system, but more Americans will lose confidence if it fails to hold Trump accountable. Bidenists include civil servants you've never heard of, who don't get any attention (or much pay), but keep all levels of government running. These civil servants actually meant their oath of office, rather than seeing it as words to disingenuously mouth to get power, and really are loyal to the Constitution over any party or politician. Bidenists think all U.S. citizens are real Americans, no matter where they or their parents were born, nor whether they live in a city, suburb, or rural community. Bidenists care about abortion rights. That's another one that plenty of supposedly savvy observers got wrong. For example, Hanna Trudo, a senior political correspondent for the Hill, declared a few weeks before the 2022 midterm elections that Democrats campaigning on abortion is a “really risky proposition” especially “up against the economy,” because “the cost of gas is *extremely* important to nearly everyone” while abortion rights are “simply not.” The midterm results, referenda in Kansas and Ohio, and a great deal of polling data show that the issue is decisive for the majority of Americans who are appalled by forcing a 10-year-old rape victim to cross state lines for an abortion, filing criminal charges against a 19-year-old and her mother for a self-managed abortion with pills, and creating legal difficulties for treating ectopic pregnancies. Bidenists are bothered by manipulations of our political process. They don't like what they see as a stolen Supreme Court seat, as Senate Republicans made up a new rule to block an Obama nominee in 2016 and then reversed their own rule to confirm a Trump nominee in 2020. Or in the case of state governments, Bidenists don't like when Republican state legislators gerrymander themselves into disproportionate power, as in Wisconsin. Obviously Democrats don't like the policy results that have arisen from the rightward shift of the Supreme Court or the undemocratically skewed state governments, but more would accept the policies if it weren't for the manipulations that made them possible. Bidenists mostly don't care about “wokeness.” I don't mean that they use different terminology than critics for the same thing, I mean it's way down their list of priorities, if it's on there at all. Anti-wokeness is primarily an elite fixation or right-wing culture war bugaboo. Bidenists don't like banning books, distorting African-American history, trying to silence gay teachers, or retaliating against companies for criticizing politicians. Bidenists want the United States to support Ukraine, and see Vladimir Putin's Russia as an American adversary, not a model of white Christian masculinity or an ally against domestic enemies. Bidenists don't particularly care about Hunter Biden. He doesn't work in government, and has no influence over policy. But they won't defend his unethical or criminal actions, certainly not the way Republicans defend Trump's corrupt children, because Bidenism isn't a cult of personality, and Bidenists value rule of law. Bidenists care a lot more about what leading politicians, media figures, and business leaders are doing than about nutpicked posters on social media, and think the claims that radical leftists dominate all institutions are insane. Overall, Bidenists are pretty earnest. And if the Trumpist right, the far left, and the above-it-all center keep assuming everyone is as disillusioned as they are, they'll keep getting it wrong. Joe Biden was swept into the White House by a record number of votes from a wide variety of Americans, and he's not a charismatic leader who commands crowd and camera, singlehandedly inspiring new voters as Barack Obama or Donald Trump did. If conservative elites don't like it, maybe they should stop behaving in ways that make Bidenism inevitable.

Guest host Adam McManus interviews Kevin Jackson, a former Fox News contributor, about how bank records reveal that the Biden family has received $10 million from China and foreign interests. Indeed, in mid-April, China fired a warning shot at President Biden when a Chinese-American bank supplied Senate Republicans with records showing millions of dollars flowing from Chinese companies to Biden's son, Hunter Biden, and brother, James Biden. Those deposits have bought a widening trade deficit with the Communist country and Biden's leniency on China despite their stealing American secrets and technology. Jackson outlines the Biden family's treasonous behavior and predicts that Biden will not be the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee. Citing cognitive health concerns, he will resign before his term has expired, allowing Vice President Kamala Harris to rise to the presidency. The powers behind the throne will insist that the one thing she does in exchange is pardon the Biden family members for having illegally sold access to Joe Biden.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Tuesday June 6th Publish Date: Monday June 5 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast Today is Sunday June 4th , and happy 57th birthday to hockey star turned actor Cam Neely ***Neely**** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Mall of Georgia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Peachtree Ridge student, flanked by lawmakers, renews calls for gun safety laws Greater Eastside Chamber of Commerce expanding to become a multi-county regional organization And Georgia Senate to revisit certificate of need law Plus, we visit with Leah McGrath from Ingles markets about cutting back on sugar All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast. Commercial : M.O.G. Story 1. student Tyler Lee, a student from Peachtree Ridge High School, held a press conference for the second consecutive year to address gun violence on National Gun Awareness Day. Flanked by state lawmakers, Gwinnett County officials, and community leaders, Lee called for new gun safety legislation and criticized politicians who supported laws like the permitless carry law. He emphasized the urgency of implementing common-sense gun laws to prevent further loss of life. Recent incidents of gun violence involving teenagers in the area highlighted the need for action. Lee plans to engage with lawmakers and local officials over the summer to discuss gun violence prevention. Officials at the press conference echoed his concerns and stressed the importance of protecting children and regulating firearms....get more on this story at gwinnettdailypost.com STORY 2: chamber The Greater Eastside Chamber of Commerce is expanding its reach to include three more counties, aiming to become a regional economic stimulator for small businesses. Originally serving Snellville, Grayson, and Loganville, the chamber will now include Lawrenceville, Dacula, and cities in DeKalb, Rockdale, and Newton counties. The expansion aims to support the growth of small businesses in these areas. The chamber is undergoing strategic changes, including new branding and a robust business training and development program. Partnerships with NCG Cinemas and the Georgia Swarm lacrosse team will provide digital marketing and vending opportunities for chamber members. The goal is to foster an inclusive and sustainable business economy in north Georgia by supporting both small and large businesses. Story 3: c.o.n. The Georgia state Senate is actively pursuing reform or repeal of the state's certificate of need law (CON), which governs hospitals and healthcare services. A newly created Senate study committee will begin meeting in June to explore ways to reform the law. Georgia's CON law requires applicants to demonstrate the need for new medical facilities or services in a community. The push for reform or abolition of CON came through bills introduced by Senate Republicans, but they did not pass in the House. Advocates argue that eliminating CON would improve access to healthcare, while opponents express concerns about the impact on rural communities and the concentration of hospitals in wealthier areas. The House is also expected to address the issue in the coming months. we'll be right back: Break 1: Slappey- Tom Wages - then Obits STORY 4: dance Riley Brison, a Lilburn native and lifelong dancer, founded the Gwinnett Dance Project to provide professional dance opportunities after realizing the limited options available after college. The contemporary dance group, consisting of eight to ten dedicated dancers, focuses on modern and ballet techniques while incorporating elements of jazz funk, hip hop, and step dance. They hold auditions annually and prioritize community engagement, with two mainstage performances each year and additional events. The company also donates 10% of profits to nonprofit organizations, with a recent performance supporting mental and emotional health. The Gwinnett Dance Project is committed to outreach and has taught and performed for various community groups. More information can be found at gwinnettdanceproject.org. Story 5: treatments New research suggests that personalized treatments for psoriasis, a painful skin condition, may be on the horizon. Scientists have discovered that the activity of specific cells and chemicals can distinguish between mild and severe cases of psoriasis. This finding could lead to the development of more effective targeted drugs. Psoriasis, which affects millions of people in the US, occurs when the skin replaces itself too quickly. The study identified key regulators of inflammation, such as fibroblasts and macrophages, which were more common in severe cases. Understanding these molecular causes could help design personalized therapeutic approaches and shed light on related disorders like arthritis and cardiovascular disease. Story 6: houck Colin Houck, a two-sport standout from Parkview High School in Gwinnett, has been named the 2022-23 Gatorade Georgia Baseball Player of the Year. This marks the third consecutive year that a Gwinnett player has won the award. Houck, a senior shortstop, led his team to a state runner-up finish and posted impressive stats, including a .487 batting average, eight home runs, and 50 RBIs. He has also excelled academically with a 4.05 GPA. Houck is now a finalist for the Gatorade National Baseball Player of the Year award. He has committed to playing baseball at Mississippi State University but is projected to be an early-round pick in the MLB draft. .……back in a moment Commercial: Lawrenceville - Gen Expo - Ingles 7 Story 7: commits Simeon Boulware, a rising senior at Dacula High School, has committed to the Vanderbilt University football program. Boulware, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound defensive lineman, is regarded as a three-star prospect. In his junior year, he earned several accolades, including being named a first-team all-county selection and a first-team all-state selection. He recorded impressive statistics with 46 tackles, including 10 for losses, nine sacks, 32 quarterback hurries, and five blocked kicks. Boulware's commitment adds to Vanderbilt's recruiting class as they look to strengthen their team for upcoming seasons. Story 8: soccer Remi Okunlola, a senior soccer player, had his interest in high school soccer sparked during the 2022 season when he watched his younger sister's games at Brookwood High School. As an Atlanta United Academy player, he hadn't previously played high school soccer, but he decided to join Brookwood for his senior year. The decision proved fruitful as Okunlola received multiple awards, including Class AAAAAAA Player of the Year, Daily Post Player of the Year, and Gwinnett Goal Club Class AAAAAAA Player of the Year. Despite not knowing what to expect, Okunlola aimed to have fun and ended up having a great season with the team. The Atlanta United Academy allowed him to participate in high school soccer for his senior year, and Brookwood's coach and teammates appreciated his contribution and humble attitude.

On Thursday's Mark Levin show, where is the conservative wing of the Republican Party in the Senate? There's no pressure being placed on Mitch McConnell or Senate Republicans to do anything about the debt limit bill, slow it down, or inform the American people. Also, more black people were killed in Chicago during Memorial Day weekend, and it isn't even being talked about in the media because the police aren't involved. Democrats still refuse to do anything about crime in the cities they run but instead cut back on police when they need them more than ever. Stephen A. Smith has the guts to take this issue on. Later, companies like Macy's and Costco are issuing warnings about our economy, seeing changes in consumer habits that can be disastrous for the economy.
