    The only consistency is that neither will likely ever be sentenced because of their corruption.

    Every fishing expedition, with the force of the American justice system, has found very little in the case of Trump. Even Stormy Daniels lost her case and owes Trump money.

    On the other hand, minor investigative reporting, in combination with the actions of an inept son, has uncovered a great deal about the Biden family, only to be met with censorship by Big Tech, The Media, and the Deep State.

    There is zero consistency.

    In the latest Trump news:

    Judge: Trump ‘more likely than not’ committed crime in trying to block Biden win

    A federal judge said Monday that then-President Donald Trump “more likely than not” committed federal crimes in trying to obstruct the congressional count of electoral college votes on Jan. 6, 2021 — an assertion that is likely to increase public pressure on the Justice Department to investigate the former commander in chief.

    The determination from U.S. District Judge David O. Carter came in a ruling addressing scores of sensitive emails that Trump ally and conservative lawyer John Eastman had resisted turning over to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot and related efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result.

    Eastman wrote key legal memos aimed at denying Democrat Joe Biden’s victory. The judge was assessing whether Eastman’s communications were protected by attorney-client privilege and was analyzing in part whether Eastman, Trump and others had consulted about the commission of a crime.

    “Based on the evidence, the Court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021,” wrote Carter, who is based in California and has jurisdiction because that is where Eastman filed the case.

    White House records turned over to House show 7-hour gap in Trump phone log on Jan. 6

    Internal White House records from the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol that were turned over to the House select committee show a gap in President Donald Trump's phone logs of seven hours and 37 minutes, including the period when the building was being violently assaulted, according to documents obtained by CBS News' chief election & campaign correspondent Robert Costa and The Washington Post's associate editor Bob Woodward.

    The lack of an official White House notation of any calls placed to or by Trump for 457 minutes — from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. — on Jan. 6, 2021 means there is no record of the calls made by Trump as his supporters descended on the U.S. Capitol, battled overwhelmed police and forcibly entered the building, prompting lawmakers and Vice President Mike Pence to flee for safety.

    The 11 pages of records — which consist of the president's official daily diary and the White House switchboard call log — were turned over by the National Archives earlier this year to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.

    The records show that Trump was active on the phone for part of the day, documenting conversations that he had with at least eight people in the morning and 11 people that evening. The gap also stands in stark contrast to the extensive public reporting about phone conversations he had with allies during the attack.

    High gas prices make Biden unpopular. So a rush to use the strategic oil reserves:

    The Biden administration on Thursday said the U.S. will release 1 million barrels of oil per day from reserves. “The scale of this release is unprecedented: the world has never had a release of oil reserves at this 1 million per day rate for this length of time,” the White House said. Biden also used the announcement to criticize the domestic energy industry for “sitting on” 9,000 unused but already approved permits for production.

    But the inflation problem has been something far longer in the making than just Biden's administration.

    Just as Biden serves as a bulwark against the left and an enabler of fascism, so too is the pattern repeated in France, where the fascist-enabler Macron similarly feeds into the long-game entrenchment of fascism in the West:

    Or, why Biden is nothing but a Trump red-carpet:

    now things have stalled, and Biden seems intent on accelerating – rather than combating – a rising tide of disillusionment. Tossing the Republican party a lifeline, he has reverted to his familiar formula: he promises big changes that could help the working class – and then prevents those changes from happening. He speechifies about the need to address crises he then makes worse. He blames Congress for gridlock but will not pressure lawmakers or use his executive authority to do things. He promises policy reforms that his own agencies decline to implement.

    The public seems to sense the gaslighting: Biden’s approval ratings are plummeting and anti-government sentiment has spiked as his strategy Joker-pills the country. As his poll numbers crater, Biden appears to be offering no course correction, and he still hasn’t signed a stack of executive orders on matters ranging from debt cancellation to drug pricing. Caught between the electorate and Democrats’ campaign sponsors, he appears to have decided that he cannot – or does not want to – stop the spread of the Joker pill. So he is now just mainlining its active ingredients into America’s veins with bold promises and even bolder betrayals.

    In the face of all this, Democrats’ campaign apparatus has gotten downright desperate. It is now airing ads boasting about a “historic middle-class tax cut”, a tax credit that has already expired, and an insulin price cap that hasn’t actually been passed into law – as if no one will be infuriated by those realities, even though data suggests many voters already are. Amid an explosion of child poverty following the end of the expanded child tax credit, the Washington commentariat wonders why so many polls show an electorate enraged at Democrats — and it’s certainly true that right-wing media has successfully duped a chunk of voters into not believing some basic economic realities.

    If I were a Trump supporter, I would be a manic Biden supporter. There would be no one better to ensure Trump's return.
