Dwayne Johnson Expresses Regret About Endorsing Biden in 2020, Won’t Endorse Any Candidate for 2024
Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has expressed regret about endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris back in 2020, saying his decision stoked division that he doesn’t want to see happen again.
As a result, the actor said he won’t be endorsing any presidential candidates in 2024.
In an interview with Fox News this week, Dwayne Johnson admitted he isn’t happy with the current state of the U.S., though he stopped short of blaming the Biden administration.
‘The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time,’ he told Will Cain on Fox and Friends. “I realize now going into this election, I will not do that.”
Watch below:
“My goal is to bring this country together,” he added. “I will keep my politics to myself. It is between me and the ballot box. Like a lot of us out there, not trusting of all politicians, I do trust the American people and whoever they vote for that is my president and who I will support 100 percent.”
Johnson made it clear isn’t pleased with the direction the country has taken.
“Am I happy with the state of America right now? Well that answer’s no,” he said. “Do I believe we are going to get better? I believe in that, I’m an optimistic guy and I believe we can get better.”
Back in 2020, Johnson hosted a campaign video with a socially distanced Biden and Harris in which the star enthusiastically pledged his support to the Biden-Harris ticket.
Watch below:
As Breitbart News reported, Dwayne Johnson previously admitted that his celebrity peers don’t really like Biden — they’re just “loyal” to the Democrat Party.
In an interview last year with Joe Rogan, the Jumanji actor said he had friends who support Donald Trump and other friends who support Joe Biden. “Do you really have friends who support Biden?” Rogan asked.
“No, no, no, no,” Johnson replied. “Thank you. That’s a good check, because that’s important, this is important context.”
“They support the Democratic Party,” Rogan said.
“I have friends that are loyal to the party,” Johnson replied.
GAMER LAWYER MERRICK GARLAND - GESTOPO MAN FOR THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY
DOJ wants to imprison the lady who found Ashley Biden’s diary and sold it to independent media
Do we still have to use the word “alleged” at this point? Or can we just call a spade a spade? (I’m going to opt to play it safe, so bear with me.)
If you ever come into possession of something that’s been abandoned, make double sure that it (a) doesn’t contain incriminating evidence against the Joe Biden family, and (b) didn’t belong to a one of those creeps, or you’ll probably be crushed by the full weight of federal government lawfare, and facing jail time.
Here’s the story, via a report published at Breitbart News today:
The Justice Department asked a New York district judge for prison time of four to ten months for the woman [Aimee Harris] who stole Ashley Biden’s diary, according to a filing submitted on Tuesday.
Now, “stole” isn’t accurate, like at all—this diary was (allegedly) abandoned by Ashley Biden at a rental property. When Ashley packed up and moved up to Philadelphia, she forgot the diary, along with a number of other items, which were promptly discovered by the new occupant. Also via Breitbart:
Harris came across Biden’s diary, tax records, private family photos, and her cell phone in September 2020 during a stay at a Delray Beach, Florida, home where the first daughter had previously lived, according to the New York Post. At the time, President Joe Biden was the Democrat presidential nominee.
And, according to R.C. Maxwell of O’Keefe Media, Ashley (allegedly) left the diary after a bender:
So, somehow the DOJ has determined that the crime of taking control of willfully abandoned property is worse than the allegations contained therein? Don’t forget, This is the same diary in which Ashley (allegedly) accused her own dad of sniffing her out in the wee hours of the night so he could shower with her, a situation far beyond what is remotely “appropriate” for a father and daughter.
Are the Bidens just the most irresponsible and forgetful group of people on the planet? Or are they all just schwacked out of their minds on drugs and alcohol? Hunter abandoned his laptop at a computer repair shop; Hallie Biden threw a working firearm in a trash can near a high school; Ashley apparently gets so blitzed that she leaves a very incriminating diary and tax documents behind when she picks up and moves out of a rental; and don’t even get me started on Joe—suffice to say, in the words of Robert Hur, he’s an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Remember this?
The DOJ has reissued a warning to all: don’t expose the (alleged) pedophilia and corruption of Joe Biden, or there will be hell to pay.

THERE IS NO END TO THE CRIMES PERPETRATED BY THE BIDEN FAMILY AND NOT ONE YET IN PRISON! BUT THEN THE BIDEN'S ARE A PROTECTED CLASS OF GAMER LAWYERS.
Hunter Biden could face a maximum of 17 years in prison if convicted. In total, the president’s son faces 42 years in federal prison for the nine tax and three gun charges.
He was indicted for gun violations in Delaware which he pleaded not guilty to while he remains a key witness in the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

They couldn’t help but notice how Trump was deemed a scoundrel for pointing out that women generally allowed him easy sexual access because he was a wealthy celebrity. But those same folks upset with Trump’s statement of fact, were totally incurious about our current demented president’s fondness for touching, fondling, and smelling small children; nor did they show any interest in reports that Creepy Joe took showers with his young daughter, who then became a promiscuous young woman and an addict.
Justice Department Demands Prison Time for Woman Who Stole Ashley Biden’s Diary
The Justice Department asked a New York district judge for prison time of four to ten months for the woman who stole Ashley Biden’s diary, according to a filing submitted on Tuesday.
Prosecutors for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York initially sought six months of home confinement and three years probation for the woman, Aimee Harris, who pleaded guilty to stealing and selling the diary in August 2022.
However, prosecutors argued in the filing that Harris moved her sentencing hearing date 12 times in an effort to “improperly delay” sentencing, which warrants the enhanced punishment.
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams’ filing to District Judge Laura Taylor Swain said:
In light of the defendant’s conduct in this case since the Government filed its initial sentencing submission in September 2023 (as described above), and the recent revelations regarding her conduct in other prior proceedings over the past four years (as described in Dkt. 89), the Government’s assessment of the pertinent § 3553(a) factors in this case has changed.
Williams added:
Taking into account all of the factors set forth in § 3553(a), including the defendant’s background and characteristics, the nature and circumstances of the offense, the importance of general and specific deterrence, and the need to promote respect for the law, a sentence within the applicable Guidelines range of 4 to 10 months’ imprisonment would be sufficient but not greater than necessary to accomplish the purposes of sentencing, including but not limited to promoting respect for the law and specific and general deterrence.
Harris came across Biden’s diary, tax records, private family photos, and her cell phone in September 2020 during a stay at a Delray Beach, Florida, home where the first daughter had previously lived, according to the New York Post. At the time, President Joe Biden was the Democrat presidential nominee.
Harris and co-defendant Robert Kurlander then sold it to Project Veritas for $40,000.
Harris is scheduled to be sentenced on April 9 after repeated delays of the date, and Kurlander, who also pleaded guilty, is scheduled to be sentenced on April 12, according to the Post.
Williams also wrote to the judge that Harris was being sentenced for “scandalous conduct [that] is appalling and must not be overlooked…and which, in and of itself, exhibited a clear disrespect for the law.”
“In addition, the defendant’s sentence must also account for the manner in which she has abused the administration of justice throughout the pendency of this court proceeding,” he wrote.
He also wrote that Harris has shown “a complete disregard” for the Court’s orders:
The defendant has repeatedly and consistently engaged in tactics to improperly delay this proceeding, including by misleading the Court with false information to justify belated and unmerited requests for adjournments, refusing to appear when directed, and failing to comply with court orders to disclose or produce certain information. Through this pattern of behavior, the defendant has shown a complete disregard for the Court’s orders and for the orderly administration of this judicial proceeding.
Williams warned that if she does not appear, they may ask for an enhancement for obstruction of justice.

Republicans Demand Garland Reveal if DOJ Investigating Biden Whistleblowers
Top House Republicans recently demanded Attorney General Merrick Garland reveal if the Justice Department launched an investigation into Biden family whistleblowers.
The probe into the Department of Justice (DOJ) underscores the ongoing House impeachment inquiry’s investigation into President Joe Biden and his family members involved in the Biden business.

“The Committees will not tolerate any retaliatory conduct by the Department against these or any other whistleblowers,” Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY), and Ways and Means Committee chair Jason Smith (R-MO) wrote Garland this week:
Whistleblowers play an integral role in identifying and rooting out waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement, and corruption within federal agencies. Federal law protects whistleblowers from retaliation.
Any efforts, including those by the Department, to investigate whistleblowers for making lawful disclosures raise serious concerns about the continued weaponization of the federal government. Any and all attempts to intimidate or retaliate against Mr. Shapley and Mr. Ziegler for their protected disclosures to Congress must stop.
Two IRS whistleblowers disclosed politically damaging information about the Biden administration and the Biden family business:
- Alleged Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf refused to allow investigators to ask about Joe Biden being “the big guy”
- Alleged the DOJ twice prevented U.S. Attorney David Weiss from bringing stronger charges against Hunter
- Alleged Garland refused to name a special counsel in the tax investigation
- Alleged the IRS recommended charges against Hunter that were not approved by Garland
After the disclosures to Congress, Hunter Biden’s attorneys reportedly pushed the DOJ to prosecute IRS whistleblowers. In June, the committee voted to make public multiple instances of alleged political interference in which the DOJ “thwarted, hampered or interfered” with the IRS tax investigation into Hunter.
The House began investigating the Bidens in November 2022. During the probe, investigators found a massive web of wire transfers, 20 shell companies, and associates who helped the Biden family business rake in at least $24 million from foreign nationals over the course of approximately five years.
They also revealed Joe Biden received money from James and Hunter Biden. In addition, they showed that nine additional family members received payments from the Bidens’ foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren.

Hunter Biden Defeated in Attempt to Throw Out Tax Case
Hunter Biden’s attempt to have all his tax charges thrown out were defeated Monday, letting the criminal case against him move forward.
A federal judge in California ruled against the younger Biden, The Hill reports.
The decision confirms Biden faces three felony charges and six misdemeanor charges in connection to tax evasion, filing a false return and failing to pay taxes between 2016 and 2019.
Biden has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His attorneys argued last month the case was politically motivated and tainted by two IRS agents who later became whistleblowers, as Breitbart News reported.
The president’s son filed eight separate motions to dismiss the charges, citing different legal rationale for each including immunity claimed from a previous plea deal he had negotiated, all of which were denied.
U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi determined the case was not political, sidelining Biden’s main argument by noting Biden’s attorneys did not provide evidence for the claim.

“The motion is remarkable in that it fails to include a single declaration, exhibit, or request for judicial notice,” he wrote. “Instead, Defendant cites portions of various Internet news sources, social media posts, and legal blogs. These citations, however, are not evidence.”
Scarsi added the sources, mostly media reports about the case, “contain multiple levels of hearsay.”
The Hill report sets out the judge similarly threw out Biden’s claim of selective and vindictive prosecution.
“Defendant fails to present a reasonable inference, let alone clear evidence, of discriminatory effect and discriminatory purpose,” Scarsi wrote.
“Accordingly, the selective prosecution claim fails.”
Hunter Biden could face a maximum of 17 years in prison if convicted. In total, the president’s son faces 42 years in federal prison for the nine tax and three gun charges.
He was indicted for gun violations in Delaware which he pleaded not guilty to while he remains a key witness in the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

Obviously, Garland and his cronies know exactly what they’re doing. They’re enabling vote fraud, surely to ensure illegal immigrants can vote in the millions to put over the electoral finish line a man most legal Americans know is demented. In the process, they’re insulting America’s poor and black citizens, branding them too stupid to obtain identification necessary for daily life. Reasonable people might call that racist.
It all starts at the top. Joe Biden has made a career out of using the government and the legal system to attack his political enemies. He has the backing of the Justice Department, the FBI, and the IRS. Trump supporters Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, Roger Stone, and Peter Navarro have seen their civil rights disappear. The same goes for the January 6th defendants.
Destroying the American system of justice
Some days I think I must be dreaming. Two deranged “public servants” -- the vindictive New York State attorney general and a leftist judge with a bad haircut -- are being given free rein to subvert our justice system by placing titanic barriers against the Republican nominee’s ability to run for president. What is happening to our country and who will stop it?
How is it possible that someone with Trump’s extraordinary accomplishments can be brought down by two vile and inconsequential persons such as Letitia James and Arthur Engoron? Their lawsuit has the support of, and is the consequence of, the Democratic Party’s efforts to interfere with the 2024 presidential election.
To begin with, James’ fraud case against Trump is a farce. There is no crime and no victim. No one has been harmed. It is purely a weaponization of the legal system for political ends. As Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary has observed, what Trump is alleged to have done -- overvalue his real estate properties when applying for a bank loan -- is normal business practice all over the globe. The bank made money and is anxious to do business with him again.
Thanks to a publicity-hungry, overtly anti-Trump judge, James’ phony indictment has been backed up with an unheard-of $460-million judgment. And they want it now. No one has that kind of cash floating around. Unless he comes up with an impossible-to-obtain bond, Trump is precluded from his right to appeal.
Without waiting for the outcome of an appeal, James wants to seize Trump’s real estate holdings. Adding insult to injury, Judge Engoron has ordered a court to oversee the Trump organization for a minimum of three years. This is the Soviet-style textbook for “How to Take Down a Billionaire.”
If the Democrats can get away with this partisan assault on someone like Donald Trump, imagine what they will do to you and me in pursuit of their leftist policies. The American public is no longer protected by due process and the rule of law. The rule has just changed to, “Whatever the Democrats want.”
It all starts at the top. Joe Biden has made a career out of using the government and the legal system to attack his political enemies. He has the backing of the Justice Department, the FBI, and the IRS. Trump supporters Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Rick Gates, Roger Stone, and Peter Navarro have seen their civil rights disappear. The same goes for the January 6th defendants.
There is a glimmer of hope. The James/Engoron anti-Trump judgment could be overturned by the New York State Appellate Division. It would be a massive miscarriage of justice if it is not overturned, but given the Democratic Party’s hold on New York judges and juries, the judgment may be upheld. Even if it is overturned, Trump will have been irreparably harmed by the seizure of his assets.
If the Democrats succeed in destroying Trump, the doors will be open to perverting the legal system as required for the leftist agenda of the Democratic Party. In short, we will have a one-party state and America’s justice system will be history.
Will anyone stop them? “The whole world is watching,” said Kevin O’Leary. “Where are the adults in this crazy narrative? We need an adult in the room. This is the United States of America under siege.”

It certainly worked for Biden in 2020, and his Attorney General, Merrick Garland, arguably the most corrupt and weaponized in history—that’s saying something with Obama’s “wingman,” Eric Holder in the running—is working hard to keep that organization up and running:
The DOJ sued DISH network for $3.3 billion but dismissed the suit after its chair donated to Biden
Two sayings are pertinent to this essay. The first is that correlation does not imply causation. Just because two events seem connected doesn’t mean they are. The second is that timing is everything. Think about both as you consider the Department of Justice’s decision to dismiss a massive corporate fraud lawsuit a short time after the corporation’s founder made a sizable donation to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
DISH Network is an American satellite network. In 2015, the DOJ sued DISH under the False Claims Act. The suit was based on Whistleblower Vermont National Telephone Company, Inc.’s allegation that DISH and its affiliates were allegedly using fraud to get small business discounts for wireless spectrum licenses. As recently as November 2023, a federal judge kept the case alive in the face of DISH’s motion for a judgment on the pleadings (i.e., DISH contended that the DOJ’s complaint contained within it the seeds of its own destruction).
On December 15, 2023, less than one month after the federal court refused to dismiss the DOJ’s suit, one of DISH’s founders, Charlie Ergen, along with his wife, Candy, donated a total of $113,200 to keep Biden in the White House…and, inevitably, to keep his currently constituted Department of Justice in power.
Image: A downed DISH receiver by frankieleon. CC BY 2.0.
On January 10, 2024, only three-and-a-half weeks after Ergen sent his money to Biden, and while the fraud suit was still pending, DISH received $50 million in taxpayer funds when the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration announced an $80 million round of five grants. The other four grantees divided the remaining $30 million in grant money.
A mere two days after the $50 million grant, the attorney for Vermont Telephone, which had triggered the DOJ’s initial action against DISH, complained that the DOJ was putting pressure on Vermont Telephone to enter into “an unethical settlement” or it would dismiss the suit:
The move to dismiss the case scrapped plans to depose the Ergens about their knowledge of the allegedly fraudulent scheme, prompting Vermont Telephone’s attorneys to accuse the Justice Department of political interference.
“[I]t appears that the effect — if not the purpose — of the DOJ’s rush to seek dismissal of this case is to protect Mr. Ergen from being questioned under oath,” Ross wrote in a Feb. 8 letter to the lead DOJ attorneys handling the case, according to a copy reviewed by The Post.
“We do not believe it is a coincidence that Mr. Ergen, his wife (who also is scheduled to be deposed next week), and DISH’s Political Action Committee collectively contributed in excess of $5 million to Democratic candidates and causes between 2008 and 2022,” he added.
“With the upcoming election, this case looks like just the latest example of the DOJ’s two-tiered justice system under which the well-heeled, politically connected are treated one way, while everyone else is treated differently.”
The last item in this chronology is that on March 8, the DOJ moved to dismiss the case. You can read more details about the whole case, from its inception to the motion to dismiss, in this New York Post article. Indeed, the article is worth reading as an expose about how corporate money and politics work in D.C., with most money flowing to Democrats but surprisingly large sums keeping individual Republicans afloat.
As I noted at the start of this post, just because there seems to be a connection between things, that doesn’t mean there is a connection. The chronology suggests that, once Ergen started throwing large sums of money at a sitting president whose re-election campaign is in trouble, that same president told his Department of Justice to lay off his good friend. It could just be, though, that the case has been kicking about for years so that the DOJ decided it was time to unload it because it was hogging resources without any discernable benefit to the American people.
But as always, timing is everything, and the appearance of impropriety can be just as powerful as actual impropriety. We’ve long known that Garland’s DOJ is driven by politics, not principle. Now, we have the strong suggestion that it can be bought, too.
Attorney General Garland promises election lawfare
Who can forget October of 2020, when Joe Biden committed a gaffe? He certainly does that more or less constantly, but this one was a classic, because a gaffe is properly defined as what happens when a politician accidently tells the truth:
‘We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,’ Biden said in the video.
It certainly worked for Biden in 2020, and his Attorney General, Merrick Garland, arguably the most corrupt and weaponized in history—that’s saying something with Obama’s “wingman,” Eric Holder in the running—is working hard to keep that organization up and running:
Speaking [in March of 2024] to a predominantly African-American crowd at a Black Selma church service, [AG Merrick Garland] said:
The right to vote is still under attack, and that is why the Justice Department is fighting back. We are challenging efforts by states and jurisdictions who implement discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary restrictions on access to the ballot, including those related to mail-in voting, the use of drop boxes and voter ID requirements.
No, AG Garland, the right to vote is NOT under attack. Georgia, which passed its reform laws after the 2020 election and invited a boycott of woke companies, including Major League Baseball (which canceled the All-Star game in Atlanta), reported that more voters and more minority voters participated in the 2022 elections than at any time in Georgia history. Even Stacey Abrams, the losing candidate for governor in 2018, who never conceded her defeat and became a media darling, accepted that she lost her rematch against Brian Kemp.
How is it possible the chief law enforcement officer in America doesn’t know drop boxes, refusing to enforce ID laws and mail-in ballots are among the best methods of cheating? Or perhaps he does…
Is it possible AG Garland is unaware of the Supreme Court’s 2008 Crawford .v Marion County Election Board decision? NBC was aware, and disappointed:
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights, validating Republican-inspired voter ID laws. [skip]
The law "is amply justified by the valid interest in protecting 'the integrity and reliability of the electoral process,'" Justice John Paul Stevens said in an opinion that was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Anthony Kennedy.
Is it possible AG Garland, and the entire DOJ is unable to use Internet search engines, like the engine that provided the URLs I’ve embedded? Or is it more likely they’re simply ignoring the Supreme Court, which they’ve proved more than willing to do? Not every state has voter ID laws. Is Garland worried there aren’t enough states without them to provide the necessary margin of voter fraud for 2024?
Beyond experience and common, adult, sense, there is substantial evidence drop boxes and mail-on balloting are primary sources of virtually untraceable vote fraud. How can it be Garland and the DOJ Voting Rights Section don’t know that? And if that’s so, if they really are that incompetent, that unaware of human and political nature, how is it there are apparently no other attorneys in the entire DOJ who have not set them straight?
Obviously, Garland and his cronies know exactly what they’re doing. They’re enabling vote fraud, surely to ensure illegal immigrants can vote in the millions to put over the electoral finish line a man most legal Americans know is demented. In the process, they’re insulting America’s poor and black citizens, branding them too stupid to obtain identification necessary for daily life. Reasonable people might call that racist.
Reasonable people might also think our republic is better off if people who can’t get identification, and can’t be bothered to get to the polls on election day, don’t vote. Obviously, people who have legitimate reasons for being unable to be present on election day, like our military serving overseas and the handicapped, must be allowed absentee ballots, but with effective safeguards and verification.
Using taxpayer resources and the power of the federal government to violate Supreme Court decisions and enable vote fraud on a never before imagined scale is among the most un-American, anti-republican acts of a thoroughly corrupt administration. Reasonable people might call that tyrannical. And they’d be right, and consistent. They’re absolutely perpetuating “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
That’s great for “our democracy—a permanent, one-party, Democrat/socialist/communist state, but terrible for our constitutional, representative republic. I wonder if Garland has heard about that?

Ketanji Brown Jackson is a fascist who should be removed from the Court
Ketanji Brown Jackson, is concerned the First Amendment is “hamstringing the government.”
That’s a 5-alarm fire of a pull-quote from a sitting Supreme Court justice, and she should absolutely be impeached and removed from the Court over it. I’m as serious as a heart attack here. Nearly every sentence of this single thought of hers adds up to textbook fascism, (a hybrid economic system in which the private economy exists but under strict state regulations, and must give way to the national interest, which is whatever the government says it is.) So, let’s go. First the full quote, directly from the SCOTUS transcript, followed by seven handpicked doozies worth analyzing:
JUSTICE JACKSON: So my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods. I mean, what would -- what would you have the government do? I’ve heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech, but in my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe, don’t do it, is not going to get it done. And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information. So can you help me? Because I’m really -- I’m really worried about that because you’ve got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government’s perspective and you’re saying that the government can’t interact with the source of those problems.
“My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government….”
Really? Your biggest concern is how the First Amendment hamstrings… the federal government? No, honey. No. Your biggest concern should be the federal government hamstringing the First Amendment. You have it exactly backwards. The “charter of negative liberties” is exactly that for a reason, intentionally crafted to restrict the government’s ability to deprive the people of their essential liberties. The entire point of the Bill of Rights is to “hamstring” the federal government; how does she not understand this down to her bones?
Also, what do we not understand about censoring ideas here? Suppressing tweets is the new book burning, and how’d that work out?
2. “What would you have the government do?”
Are you kidding? Government has the biggest microphone imaginable to make her case; granted, it’s hard to make a case against the very legal foundation of the United States, but persuasion is a big part of the job one asks for when one asks to do the people’s work. Because what comes after persuasion? That’s right: force. So you’d better be good at the former. that’s the job she asked for when she asked to do the people’s work. Now if it’s compelling, the people will heed it; if it’s not, then it’s a weak argument. Don’t ask for such an awesome responsibility if you’re not up to the task, and definitely don’t ask for it if your first impulse is to suffocate it until it stops bothering you.
3. “In my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe, don’t do it, is not going to get it done.”
That’s what parents are for. The end.
4. “Some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country….”
Yes, from each other. From murder and mayhem. Not from ourselves. I’m a born-free American. I don’t need you to babysit me. I’m perfectly capable of sorting through information to make a reasoned decision. The solution to “dangerous” speech is more speech, not less, as Justice Brandeis so famously intoned when he said, “To expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied [to speech one does not like] is more speech, not enforced silence.”

5. “You seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information.”
Damned right. Government is force. The simplest ask from the federal government to (any company, but in this case) a social media company to police opinions it does not like carries with it an implicit — if not explicit — “or else.” How does this have to be explained? To anyone?
6. “I’m really worried… you’ve got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government’s perspective…”
Good. When the government feels threatened, when it fears the people, there is Liberty. And once again, we have to notice her baseline impulse is to protect government—not you, not me, and not the people. It’s not like the Feds are lacking any kind of influence whatsoever or at risk of being tyrannized by... tweets. Opinions. Good grief.
7. “You’re saying that the government can’t interact with the source of those problems.”
Girlfriend’s got the “source” wrong. It’s not social media; it’s us. In her mind, whether she knows it or not, or would admit it or not, we, the people, are “the source of those problems.” Us and all our messy Liberty. Talking to each other. Debating. Arguing. Over this, over that. Ew. No wonder she’s upset.
Sarcasm aside, that really is her problem here. We the people. Until social media came along, the institutional left had near monolithic operational control of every information dispensing organ in the country: television, print, movies, education, and the federal bureaucracy. If they wanted to propagandize us, they could quite literally go full court press, with every quarter singing from the same songbook. But with Twitter and Facebook? Our opinions could be widely shared in a nationwide town square, and maybe even go viral—the left couldn’t have that!
So what did they do? Well, as was revealed in The Twitter Files, the Feds had a 21st Century “bat phone” they could pick up anytime they saw a post they didn’t like to “encourage” and “pressure” those agreeable companies into doing the government’s bidding. Tony Soprano would’ve loved that bat phone.
Because that’s textbook mafia fascism. For reals. The real thing. F-A-S-C-I-S-M. How KBJ does not understand this, all of this — down to her bones — is breathtaking.
Americans, freedom-loving Americans, who have been properly raised to understand our Constitution and cherish our inherent liberties would never, ever, in a million years, lament that the First Amendment had “hamstrung” government.
I would suggest that Ms. Jackson be brought in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee and asked to clarify her views on the First Amendment, but we don’t want to set an abusable precedent. We don’t want justices afraid to ask questions during argument, and we don’t want them hauled before the very committee which was supposed to have vetted them thoroughly simply for asking one — albeit alarming — question.
However (and this is a big however), when that question exposes a foundational, fundamental, bedrock ignorance, dare we say inversion, of our first, most cherished principle, our soul’s right to breathe, that’s absolutely impeachable.
They’ll never do it of course. The entire Republican conference put together lacks the testicular fortitude of one Nancy Pelosi all by her diminutive self. So I guess all we can do is wag a finger and say shame on the Senate for not doing the due diligence we just did here. They could have mined her thoughts on every amendment. They didn’t. It’s too late for that, but it needs to be noted, for the record, that they gave us a Supreme Court justice whose first impulse is to worry about the federal government, and since they won’t remove her, every senator who voted for her must be removed, held accountable to us, those unruly, opinionated people.

THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY
American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.
TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH
Breitbart Political Editor Emma-Jo Morris’s investigative work at the New York Post on the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” also captured international headlines when she, along with Miranda Devine, revealed that Joe Biden was intimately involved in Hunter’s businesses, appearing to even have a 10 percent stake in a company the scion formed with officials at the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party.

Report: DOJ Sought Info on James Biden in Connection to Medicare Fraud Case
The Justice Department reportedly sought information in 2023 about James Biden’s activities in connection to a Medicare fraud case involving a lucrative “Americore” deal.
It is unclear if James Biden, brother of President Joe Biden, is a target of the investigation, Politico reported Monday.
Americore is accused of being part of a scheme to defraud Medicare.
A second probe by federal investigators in South Florida into the Americore deal involving “transactions linked to Jim Biden” is also underway, two people familiar with the matter told Politico. It remains unclear if James Biden is the “focus” of the second probe, according to the report. His lawyer told Politico that his client is not under investigation regarding Americore.
Investigators in Florida are probing an Americore agreement that James Biden “was party to,” including “a series of loans made to Americore by an investment fund run by a Jim Biden associate,” the outlet reported.
James Biden admitted to Congress in February that he earned money to organize some of the loans for the company. He received a $200,000 loan from Americore and on the same day, cut Joe Biden a $200,000 check, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in October.
James Biden denies the $200,000 check he gave Joe Biden was due to a pre-existing business relationship. He insists the check was a return payment for money Joe Biden lent him.
However, a previously unreported lawsuit claims James Biden received improper payments from the Americore deal, Politico reported Monday:
In a complaint filed in Palm Beach County in 2022, investors in the Third Friday Total Return Fund allege that the money manager in charge of the fund looted millions of dollars from it by making sham loans to Americore, then diverted roughly $600,000 of the embezzled funds to Jim Biden.
…
Several of the loans have an additional, previously unreported, link to the Bidens. An email obtained by POLITICO shows that a lawyer who has worked for Jim and Hunter Biden, George Mesires, represented the lender in some of the transactions being scrutinized. Mesires did not respond to requests for comment.
“Jim Biden is not named as a defendant in the Palm Beach suit, and it is not clear whether his activities are a focus in either criminal investigation,” the outlet reported.
