ROBERT SPENCER — In Marxist theory, the final stage of socialism is true communism, when everyone shares of his or her resources equally, the state withers away, and true justice finally dawns upon the earth. We never have seen that stage and never will, because Marxism is rancid pseudo-religious hogwash that runs directly contrary to human nature. The real final stage of socialism is what we saw in the last ten years of the Soviet Union: an entrenched, all-encompassing, corrupt and inefficient state bureaucracy nominally presided over by a succession of senescent, barely-there incompetents. With his disgraceful descent into open authoritarianism Thursday evening, Old Joe Biden and the Democrats signaled their intention to skip right to that final stage: they’ve already got the doddering figurehead and the ravenous bureaucracy firmly in place....

THE FEDERALIST — Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake wants Democrats and the corrupt corporate media, which constantly demonize the more than 74 million people who voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, to know there’s nothing wrong with asking questions about election irregularities. In response to a question from what appeared to be a journalist at a campaign event, Lake made that abundantly clear.... (more)

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT — Did you watch President Joe Biden's disgraceful speech on Thursday night? I did. And I know the Biden plan. Although it's not Biden's plan. I think Biden is a puppet with dementia and diapers. Biden doesn't know whether Jill Biden is his wife or sister. Biden looks like a walking cadaver who reads whatever script is put in front of him. Then Jill leads him offstage, so he doesn't get lost. His handlers take him in back, pat him on the head, hand-feed him his baby food and change his diapers. Then it's time to "put a lid" on Biden's day. It's time for a nappy-nap.... (more)

AMERICAN GREATNESS — Joe Biden certainly set the punditocracy abuzz with his neo-totalitarian performance piece at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on Thursday. The significance of that speech can be broken down into three parts, two of which have already received abundant commentary.... (more)

DEBRA HEINE — Joe Biden on Friday walked back his attacks on the millions of American citizens who support former President Donald Trump, telling reporters that he doesn’t consider “any Trump supporter a threat to the country.” This comes less than a day after he called Trump supporters “MAGA forces,” and warned that they are a “threat to this country.”...

FOX NEWS — The president of the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation blasted President Joe Biden’s recent address on the "soul of a nation" as the continuation of a "pattern of division and dishonesty." "For nearly 50 years, Biden has shown that his words, when they’re even his to begin with, are nothing but empty Swamp doublespeak," Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts said in response to Biden’s speech where the president accused supporters of former President Donald Trump of waging an "assault on American democracy."...

WORLDNETDAILY — Several major broadcast networks ran reruns instead of carrying President Joe Biden’s Thursday evening speech in which he characterized “MAGA Republicans” as a threat to democracy, according to Deadline. Biden called large swaths of Republican voters “extremists” and accused them of “fanning the flames of political violence” in his Philadelphia speech, which focused heavily on former President Donald Trump. ABC, CBS and NBC chose other shows over the speech and Fox ran “Tucker Carlson Tonight” while MSNBC and CNN ran the Biden speech, according to Deadline.... (more)

JERRY NEWCOMBE — Well, as of last week, it’s official. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—at least for now—has dissolved its “disinformation board.” Some critics had referred to this controversial board as Biden's “Ministry of Truth,” a reference to George Orwell’s classic novel about a dystopian, totalitarian future, 1984. The now-defunct board was to be engaged in “countering disinformation that threatens the homeland, and providing the public with accurate information in response.”... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — Calling his opponents fascists, Joe Biden is sounding like former Soviet KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin offering a justification for initiating a war of aggression against Ukraine. In typical communist fashion, Putin said Ukraine was full of fascists. Biden’s recent “anti-fascist” rhetoric against Republicans makes him sound like the Russian he supposedly wants to defeat in Ukraine. Perhaps Biden and Putin are on the same side after all....

NEW YORK POST — FBI Director Christopher Wray has lost the confidence of rank-and-file FBI agents after a senior bureau official left under a cloud of accusations that he shielded Hunter Biden’s laptop from a criminal probe — and some believe the top G-man should step down, a new report says....

PROJECT VERITAS — Project Veritas released the first video in its newly launched Education Series today exposing a senior official at a prominent public school.

ART MOORE — Amid the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's slow-rolling of data on the risks of the COVID-19 vaccines, the British government is recommending against pregnant and breastfeeding women receiving the shots. An update of the U.K. health department's "Summary of the Public Assessment Report for COVID-19 Vaccine Pfizer/BioNTech" states that because of the rapid development of the vaccine, there is an "absence of reproductive toxicity data," the National Pulse reported....

NEW YORK POST — A top FBI agent at the Washington field office reportedly resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations he helped shield Hunter Biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings. Timothy Thibault, an FBI assistant special agent in charge, was allegedly forced out after he was accused of political bias in his handling of probes involving President Biden’s son, sources told the Washington Times on Monday....

JUST THE NEWS — Former President Donald Trump's attorney said Tuesday that the former president will likely challenge the legality of the FBI's search of his home based on the Fourth Amendment. AlinaHabba spoke on "The Sean Hannity Show" alongside Just the News Editor-in-Chief John Solomon. Host Sean Hannity asked Habba about the former president's legal path forward in the ongoing case surrounding his possession of government documents at his Florida estate.... (more)

MARGOT CLEVELAND — Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s admission last week that the FBI pushed the social media giant to censor Russian misinformation — and thus the Hunter Biden laptop story, as that’s how the agency and Democrats characterized it — shortly before the November 2020 election is but a breadcrumb of a bigger scandal: the widespread interference by the FBI in the 2020 presidential election with the potential that the bureau coordinated its efforts with the Biden campaign....

ART MOORE — The IRS official chosen to lead the new "centralized office" featuring the nearly 87,000 new employees funded in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act was involved in the agency's targeting of conservative groups that opposed Barack Obama's reelection in 2012. Nikole Flax served as the chief of staff for then acting IRS Commissioner Stephen Miller, who was fired amid a cover-up of the scandal.... (more)

TOWNHALL — Despite being told that elections were safe, secure and beyond corruption, President Joe Biden just said the quiet part aloud, making the Democrat party want to go into hiding once again. Last week, Biden told a group of rally goers that Democrats have a plan in place to “make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again.”... (more)

THE FEDERALIST — The Mar-a-Lago search warrant is interesting not only because of the high office of the individual whose papers were seized but also because of the low office of the person who signed it. The warrant illustrates the longstanding constitutional anomaly of letting magistrate judges sign search warrants. Leave aside how you feel about the former president. Leave aside what you think of January 6, 2021. Leave aside whether there was a good reason to issue the warrant. A more basic question is whether the Hon. Bruce Reinhart could constitutionally issue it.... (more)

BOB UNRUH — Hillary Clinton, back in 2016 during her second failed campaign for president, lashed out angrily at conservatives and those with traditional values in America. At an event in New York to collect cash for Democrats in the campaign, she said, "You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it."... (more)

JUST THE NEWS — PragerU founder Dennis Prager says the problem with Republican candidates is that they campaign against their opponents, but not against the left and its ideology.

PJ MEDIA — A sarcastic new ad being rolled out nationwide captures the unfairness of Joe Biden’s executive order that forces hardworking, responsible Americans to assume the student loan debt of college grads. “This is awful policy and there’s real resentment brewing,” said Dan Conston, president of the American Action Network (AAN), the non-profit behind the ad. “Working Americans shouldn’t have to foot the bill for a handout to coddled elite college graduates who don’t like having to pay what they owe.”...

PJ MEDIA — Organizers of a woke podcasting convention would have sent a trigger warning to their conventioneers if they’d only known that he was coming. Even assuming trigger warnings work, which they don’t, as a new study or any parent of a toddler can tell you, nothing could have prepared the attendees of the “Podcast Movement” convention in Texas for the loosing of an animal so dangerous and so contemptible that they may never get over the “pain” of witnessing it. Indeed, so dangerous was this animal, who had been allowed to roam freely and breathe their air, that woke conventioneers moved to immediately leash and lock it up like he was Peter Navarro or something....
