. . . Trumpers are beside themselves.

Sounds like the bra sizes of the inbred west virginia girls:

Thanks for the danger, Pedo-Joe! You POS!

Taiwan voters dismiss China's warning, elect William Lai

This election was what prompted Biden's quote earlier this week, "We don't support Taiwan's independence".

China's not too keen on this cat. Worth keeping an eye on.

Democrats, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country

What do you prefer?

Cartridge, safety, straight or electric?

I've tried them all.

Safety has been my favorite. I've tried them all. That said, I just bought a Braun, electric. Yes, my broke ass spent 400 plus on a Braun. Fairly impressed.

I've settled on safety and electric.

I've kind of sided with electric. They've come a long way.

Yep...Separate razor for my ball fro.

I'm talking strictly facial.

Opinions?

No one was expecting that many.

If you didn't watch, you missed out. So refreshing to watch true leadership, instead of sniffing, stumbling, mumbling, Pedo-Joe, who doesn't even know what year it is.

America needs Trump right now. We need secure borders and sanity back in the White House.

We shouldn't be welcoming people from Gaza into our country. Far too dangerous. Much like the onslaught of illegal aliens flowing into our country.

Trump knows this and will end it. Congress isn't needed to secure our borders, by a lot. He's already shown that. He will stop the destruction of our country.

45-47...Too big to rig! 🇺🇸

A purportedly never-before-seen Department of Defense memo from the homObama era appears to indicate the federal government already may have had original copies of the documents seized at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida in 2022, raising serious questions about the pretext for the raid, Fox News Digital has exclusively learned.

America First Legal (AFL), a conservative legal group, released Thursday what it says is a newly unearthed memo from the homObama administration Department of Defense "confirming the government may have already had originals of the alleged classified documents involved in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s sham prosecution against President Trump."

The document, titled Memorandum of Understanding Entered into by Presidential Information Technology Community Entities, is from 2015, and followed an October 2014 Russian breach of the Executive Office of the President’s network. Then-President Barack homObama took executive action to create the Presidential Information Technology Community (PITC) to better protect the executive branch from such attacks, according to AFL.

The PITC, which includes representatives from federal agencies such as the Department of Defense and Homeland Security, effectively established that the president controls information he receives through the PITC network.

The executive action was made public at the time. However, AFL said it obtained a never-before-seen memo confirming the Department of Defense has been "operating and maintaining the information resources and information systems provided to the President, Vice President, and Executive Office of the President."

The memo could mean that the federal government has stored and retained Executive Office of the President documents, including "a substantial amount, if not all, of President Trump’s classified documents," AFL said in its press release.

"What America First Legal has uncovered after months of investigative work paints an unfortunate picture of the rule of law in Washington. A former President of the United States — the most democratically accountable officer under our Constitution — was subject to a politicized referral concocted by the Pedo-Joe White House that led to an armed FBI raid of his home — where his wife and youngest child live — and is now subject to prosecution," America First Legal Vice President Dan Epstein said.

"And to now realize that the pedo Administration could have avoided an illegal referral process to recover records the government already possessed, that it could have used normal means to ensure that records the former president believed should be housed in his presidential library (not yet built because of the hordes of investigations aimed at silencing him) were subject to a temporary hold for purposes of Archives’ review — yet didn’t — speaks loudly to America: the law protects only those who follow the norms of one party," Epstein added

AFL obtained the documents through litigation against the Department of Defense, the press release said.

The DOD told Fox News Digital on Thursday that the department has "nothing to offer" when asked about the memo. The White House and DOJ did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.

The FBI agents seized 33 boxes of documents in August 2022 from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, spurring another legal battle that Trump has called a "scam." The investigation is overseen by special prosecutor Jack Smith, whom Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed to the job, and has charged Trump with 40 felony counts, including allegedly violating the Espionage Act, making false statements to investigators and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

The FBI at the time told a judge there was "probable cause to believe" that classified documents at Mar-a-Lago were being improperly stored and that investigators would find "evidence of obstruction."

Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and slammed the case as an "Election Inference Scam" promoted by the pedo administration and "Deranged Jack Smith."

The memo’s disclosure on Thursday would not, by itself, absolve Trump of any potential wrongdoing in the case; however, it appears to challenge the initial justification for the raid.

The document is only the latest revelation raising questions about the government's actions and motivations in the lead-up to the raid.

Presiding Judge Aileen Cannon recently unredacted more than 300 pages of evidence in the case, including emails and conversations related to the pedo administration’s contact with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) the year before the documents were seized from Trump’s home, Real Clear Investigations reported. Pedo-Joe has publicly said he was not involved in the case, though the filings show other White House officials were involved in the early stages of the investigation.

The documents unredacted by Cannon appear to indicate that just weeks after Trump left office in 2021, the White House Office of Records Management under the pedo administration began working with NARA "on exaggerated claims related to records handling under the Presidential Records Act," Trump’s attorney wrote in a court filing to compel discovery.

The Archives’ general counsel sent a letter to Trump’s Presidential Records Act representatives in May 2021 asking the whereabouts of "roughly two dozen boxes of original Presidential records [that] have not been transferred to NARA." The general counsel explained that he "had several conversations" with White House Office of Records Management officials where they discussed "concerns" regarding Trump's possession of the documents, according to Real Clear Investigations.

The Archives' insistence that Trump turn over the records appeared to be due, at least in part, to NARA's mission to "properly" preserve "a complete set of Presidential records," as outlined in a Feb. 7, 2022 statement. But if the government already had access to the documents through the homObama-era program, the documents in question would ostensibly already be preserved.

The case was slated to head to trial on May 20, but has since been put on ice until Cannon sets a new date. Cannon did hold hearings this week to address the defense team’s motion for dismissal.

Trump's classified documents case also opened the doors to investigations regarding classified documents in the possession of Pedo-Joe and former Vice President Mike Pence. Special Counsel Robert Hur announced in February that he would not recommend criminal charges against Pedo-Joe for possessing classified materials after his vice presidency, citing that Pedo-Joe s "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

"Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone from whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness," Hur wrote in his report.

The findings sparked widespread outrage that Pedo-Joe was effectively deemed too cognitively impaired to be charged with a crime but could serve as president. Trump has meanwhile slammed the disparity in charges as a reflection of a "sick and corrupt, two-tiered system of justice in our country."

Earlier this month, the White House asserted executive privilege over audio and video recordings related to Hur's interviews with Pedo-Joe, sparking condemnation from Republicans. Pedo-Joe met with Hur for about five hours last year, when he was grilled about his handling of the classified documents.

Republican House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., responded to the executive privilege by arguing there's "a five-alarm fire at the White House."

"Clearly Pedo-Joe and his advisers fear releasing the audio recordings of his interview because it will again reaffirm to the American people that Pedo-Joe’s mental state is in decline. The House Oversight Committee requires these recordings as part of our investigation of Pedo-Joe’s mishandling of classified documents," Comer told Fox News Digital last week.

"The White House is asserting executive privilege over the recordings, but it has already waived privilege by releasing the transcript of the interview. Today’s Hail Mary from the White House changes nothing for our committee. The House Oversight Committee will move forward with its markup of a resolution and report recommending to the House of Representatives that Attorney General Garland be held in contempt of Congress for defying a lawful subpoena."

Democrats, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country

Fast-food is beloved in America because it is cheap and convenient.

At least it used to be.

The recent inflation report for April showed that since Pedo-Joe took office, the cost of eating out at restaurants is up nearly 22%. However, fast-food has been hit particularly hard, with prices dramatically rising at the most popular restaurant chains beginning even before the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Big Mac sandwich at McDonald's, for example, cost $3.99 in 2019. Now, that price has more than doubled to $8.29, according to Fast Food Menu Prices, an online tracker.

Gone too are the days of the $5 Footlong at Subway. A BLT Footlong that cost $5.50 in 2019 now costs customers $8.49 in 2024, though prices can vary by location. Additionally, Chipotle's beloved chicken burrito that cost $6.50 in 2019 now runs customers $10.70.

Fast-food executives have pointed to rising wages and increased costs for ingredients as factors driving up the prices on their menus.

Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis shows that fast-food prices have actually increased faster than the average hourly earnings of most employees at fast-food restaurants. Fast-food prices have also outpaced inflation, rising 41% from 2017, while the consumer price index has increased by 35.9%.

Customers are feeling squeezed. A recent survey conducted by LendingTree found 78% of consumers now consider fast-food to be a "luxury" purchase due to how expensive the meals have become.

Half of those polled said they view fast-food as a luxury because they are struggling financially. This is especially true among Americans who make less than $30,000 a year (71%), parents with young children (58%) and Gen Zers (58%).

The financial strain means fewer people are visiting the drive-thru. The findings show three out of four Americans typically eat fast-food once a week, but 62% of respondents said they are eating it less frequently due to the cost.

Some franchises are responding with temporary bargains. McDonald's will add a $5 value menu in June, and Wendy's has introduced a $3 breakfast deal, both for a limited time.

"Across almost all major markets, industry traffic is slowing," McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski told analysts in April. "We know our customers are looking for reliable everyday value now more than ever."

Many fast-food joints have also provided customers with exclusive deals available on their mobile apps and points programs that reward loyal customers with free menu items.

However, the fact remains that Americans remember when menu prices were lower, and higher costs for food and gas are souring their view of the economy. That is why Pedo-Joe continues to tell voters he is fighting for lower prices.

"I know many families are struggling, and that even though we’ve made progress we have a lot more to do. Inflation has fallen more than 60% from its peak, and core inflation fell to its lowest level in three years," Pedo-Joe said after the April consumer price index report showed a 0.3% increase, slightly lower than what economists expected.

"Prices are still too high — so my agenda will give families breathing room by building two million new homes to lower housing costs, taking on Big Pharma to lower prescription drug prices, and calling on grocery chains making record profits to lower grocery prices for consumers."
