Biden to Announce Support For Sweeping Changes to Supreme Court – Term Limits, Ethics Code, Eliminate Broad Immunity For Presidents:

Joe Biden will announce support for sweeping changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, according to The Washington Post.

Biden will propose term limits for the justices and an ethics code which both need congressional approval.

Joe Biden also wants to reform broad immunity for presidents after the Supreme Court issued a ruling on immunity.

A Constitutional amendment would be nearly impossible given the number of hurdles Biden would have to go through including both chambers of Congress and two-thirds of the states as well as approval by state legislatures.

Law Professor Jonathan Turley Says Senator Bob Menendez Faces a ‘Crushing’ Prison Sentence, Will Likely Die in Prison:

On Tuesday, Menendez was convicted of all counts at his corruption trial, where he denied charges that he had accepted bribes of gold and cash from three New Jersey businessmen and worked as a foreign agent on behalf of Egypt.

Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, is now predicting that Menendez will face a “crushing” prison sentence that he may not even survive.

The conviction of Sen. Menendez in Washington is monumental. He was one of the untouchables. Despite long being viewed as corrupt, Menendez wielded power with abandon for his own benefit.

The problem was the defense theory. Menendez tried to convince the jury that this was a “Cuban thing.” They clearly viewed it as a “corruption thing.”

The images of gold bars and cash stuffed in clothes is difficult to overcome with a cultural claim. Yet, this conviction is an indictment of the Washington establishment. Menendez was always viewed as a corrupt figure but he was still given powerful positions that he used for corrupt purposes.

Despite being convicted on all charges, Menendez has so far refused to resign from the Senate and has even registered as an independent candidate in November’s election.

“He’s Headed That Way”- Top Democrats, Aides, and Close Friends of Joe Biden’s All Predict He Will Drop Out of the Presidential Race as Soon as This Weekend:

The end may be near for Dementia Joe in a matter of days.

Axios dropped an explosive report on Thursday stating that several top Democrats and friends of Biden’s are telling the outlet the pressure of party congressional leaders will force Biden out of the presidential race as soon as this weekend.

The heat on Biden to leave the race has reached “intolerable levels,” especially over the past few days.

One close friend of Biden’s told Axios that Biden is indeed heading toward the exits.

In fact, Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer reportedly hatched a secret plot to replace Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. This may have kicked into high gear following Biden’s disastrous debate performance.

Time is running short, though, as the DNC is scheduled to have a virtual roll call to nominate Biden at the beginning of August.

Godless: View Co-Host Joy Behar Bashes Trump For Mentioning God, Says His Bandage “Should Have Been Over Mouth” (VIDEO):

View co-host Joy Behar, in a Friday morning airing of The View, made a disgusting comment regarding Donald Trump’s speech on Thursday night at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

Behar stated that Trump shouldn’t have mentioned God in his speech.

The View co-host stated, “I was raised Catholic. I’m a Christian girl. When something like this happens to you, like this assassination attempt, and you say something like ‘God was watching me,’ that is a very un-Christian thing to say because it’s very narcissistic.”

“The bandage Trump had over his ear “should have been over his mouth,” added Behar.

Biden Ends Reelection Campaign:

President Joe Biden is ending his quest for reelection.

Biden announced his intention Sunday afternoon, promising to reveal more about his decision soon.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President,” Biden’s statement posted on X read. “And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

His statement thanked Vice President Kamala Harris “for being an extraordinary partner in all this work,” but the statement did [not] explicitly endorse her as his successor.

However, in a subsequent statement posted to X, Biden offered “my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year.” Biden then called on Democrats to unite, writing “It’s time to come together and beat Trump.”

This is a developing story.

@terry 

They have a whole list of people they want to run.  Too bad they didn't put all their names forth and have a real primary before all the delegates were spoken for.  Now it's very messy because they probably can't legally transfer campaign funds to anyone but Kamala.  You know they will find a way, though, however convoluted, because...Democrats....

The Clintons have endorsed Kamala.

President Trump Says He Was Never Warned of the Threat – Despite Secret Service Tracking Shooter for an Hour! 

President Trump and Senator J.D. Vance sat down with Jesse Watters this weekend for an interview that will air this coming week.

During the interview, President Trump told Jesse he was never warned by Secret Service that there was a suspicious man in the area they identified an hour before he took the stage.

Jesse Watters: They were monitoring this guy for an hour beforehand. No one told you not to take the stage?

President Trump: No, nobody mentioned it. Nobody said there was a problem. I would have waited for 15. They could have said, Let’s wait for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, five minutes, something. Nobody said, I think that was a mistake. How did somebody get on that roof? And why wasn’t he reported? Because people saw that he was on the roof. When you had Trumpers screaming a woman in the red shirt, she was screaming, There’s a man on the roof. And then other people said, There’s a man on the roof who’s got a gun. And that was quite a bit before I walked onto the stage. So you would have thought somebody would have done something about it.

 Something we have learned, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks likely flew a drone over the fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania, just hours before Trump took the stage in front of tens of thousands of people. Officials say the predetermined path suggests Crooks flew the drone more than once to scope out the event site. At least four Congressional committees are planning to probe the security failures that allowed him to gain access to the nearby rooftop that he fired from. Republican Senator Josh Hawley says he’s heard from multiple whistleblowers.

Senator Josh Hawley: The idea that you could have all of this time elapsed and nobody notices, no law enforcement notices he’s on the roof. Whistleblowers tell me that law enforcement were actually on different channels, different radio communication channels. There were multiple different channels, and they weren’t coordinated.

Chip Roy calls to defund Secret Service after Trump assassination attempt:

(The Hill) — Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) called for the Secret Service to be defunded after the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump raised questions about the service’s ability to keep elected officials safe.

Roy joined Fox News’s Laura Ingraham Friday after he attended the funeral of Pennsylvania firefighter Corey Comperatore — the rallygoer who was killed during the shooting at Trump’s rally outside Pittsburgh last weekend.

“Right now, the president of the United States — the former president and hopefully soon to be president of the United States Donald Trump — is alive not because of what the Secret Service did, but because he providentially turned his head,” Roy said on “The Ingraham Angle,” adding “that’s the truth of the fact and the fact is, the American people are sick of it.”

Roy also criticized members of the Biden administration, saying the public is “sick” of leaders keeping their jobs after events like the assassination attempt and President Biden’s withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan in 2021.

“They’re sick of the FBI. They’re sick of the intel community,” he continued. “All of these people keep their jobs and now, the Secret Service endangers the poor president and the sitting Republican nominee and they’re acting like nothing happened.”

Roy argued that it was “absolutely unbelievable” that the gunman flew a drone over the rally site hours before the event began, and the Secret Service didn’t notice.

“Here’s the deal. We have to stop funding it. We have to stop giving these people jobs,” he argued. “We have to hold them accountable.”  “It’s not just the Secret Service,” Roy added later. “It’s the Pentagon, the Department of Defense, the FBI, the CIA, DHS.”
