Speaking to reporters at the White House on
Friday, Biden said he has “no comment” on former President Donald Trump
being indicted by a Manhattan grand jury. This is the first time Biden
was questioned in public about Trump’s case.
“Are you worried this will further divide our country? The indictment?” a reporter asked Biden.
“I have no comment on that,” the president responded.
“Are
you also worried about possible protest in the wake of the indictment?”
another reporter asked, alluding to the fact the Trump previously urged
his supporters to protest and to “take our country back” if he were arrested.
“No, I’m not going to talk about Trump’s indictment,” Biden said.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Biden if he thinks “that the charges against Trump are politically motivated.”
Apparently the leaks about the Manhattan grand jury being done with
the Trump case for a month amounted to a head fake, deliberate or
otherwise. Donald Trump went from predicting his own arrest a few
weekends ago to publicly praising the grand jurors ("gained such respect"), apparently under the belief that they'd decided not to pursue charges. Yesterday afternoon, I asked a legal guest on my radio show
if that was unwisely premature on Trump's part, considering that the
grand jury pool was almost certainly stacked with people who hate him,
with an outcome still unclear. A few hours later, the indictment was
announced. Trump's 'great respect' warm and fuzzies instantly vanished,
in favor a statement of outrage.
Whatever you think of Trump, the indictment reeks. The fact that it's
been sought is plainly and outrageously political, no matter how hard
certain media outlets gaslight.
With the caveat that it's currently sealed, and we haven't seen all of
its substance, it's thus far been widely and rightly seen as a...Read more and see tweets here.

IRS says average tax refund is 11% smaller than last year - here's why
IRS issued about 53M tax refunds as of mid-March, but some taxpayers could be in for a shock
With the 2023 tax season
coming to an end in just a few weeks, the Internal Revenue Service is
reminding taxpayers to brace for a smaller refund this year.
The
IRS said that it has issued about 53 million refunds as of March 17,
worth a collective $158.1 billion. The average refund check so far this
year is worth $2,933 – about 11% lower compared to the $3,305 average
recorded last year.
The decrease in refund size can be concerning
to millions of Americans who depend on the influx of money from Uncle
Sam to make major purchases, save for retirement or pay off debt. On top
of that, millions of taxpayers are still struggling with the worst
inflation bout in a generation that has sent the cost of staples like
food, rent and gasoline soaring higher.
A recent survey
from Bankrate found that about 75% of adults who expect to receive a
tax refund this year believe the money is important to their overall
financial situation. About 43% said the refund is "very important,"
compared to 32% who described it as "somewhat important."
U.S. Marshals Were Told Not to Arrest Violent Protestors Outside of Supreme Court Justice's House
Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet
U.S. Marshals assigned to guard the Supreme Court Justice's home
following the aftermath of Roe v. Wade being overturned last year were
reportedly told not to make any arrests of violent protestors.
According to training documents obtained by the office of Sen. Katie
Britt (R-Ala), "unless absolutely necessary," criminal enforcement
action involving the protest or protestors, particularly in public
space, was to be avoided.
Previously, Attorney General Merrick
Garland claimed that U.S. Marshals "have full authority to arrest people
under any federal statute, including that federal statute." However,
the training documents suggested that the Department of Justice lawyers
believed applying the statute to peaceful protests directed at the
justices would violate the First Amendment.
Washington Post: It's 'Startling' How Many Arrests Aren't Prosecuted in D.C.
Spencer Brown / Townhall Tipsheet
As Townhall covered extensively earlier this spring, Washington,
D.C.'s City Council attempted to force through a rewrite of the criminal
code governing the nation's capital that would have lessened penalties,
downgraded serious crimes, and changed how the city carried out
justice. The liberal D.C. Council passed its overhaul, then Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, vetoed the measure. The D.C. Council, however, overrode Bowser's veto in a nearly unanimous vote.
Congress, however, stepped in and used its authority to reject the
new D.C. criminal code and — after botching his response to it and
leaving more than 100 House Democrats out to dry
on the vote — President Biden did not veto their resolution to strike
down the D.C. Council's rewrite of the city's criminal code.
Even
though law and order advocates might have been heartened that the D.C.
Council's attempt to reduce penalties was unsuccessful, it turns...Read more and see tweet here.

Losing 2024...Maybe...Maybe Not

Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
This an opinion piece, my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blospot.com.
...And again, while President Trump's economic and foreign policy records were
indeed great, Trump now seems to be ignoring said record, choosing
instead to spew out all sorts of silly nicknames peppered with egotistical
rhetoric and bravado not caring at all that he is breaking the great Ronald
Reagan's 11th commandment, “Thou shall not speak ill of fellow
Republicans.”
In fact, let's revisit these
words from the opening quote where Trump stated that the DA's attack
on him was also “an attack on all Americans who support
me.” But what Trumpforgets is that not everything
is about him nor is it about his supporters alone. What Trump should have said is
that said attack is actually an attack on all Americans whether they
support him or not. Why so...because now the door has been opened for
any Soros funded DA to be able to bring charges...bogus or
not...against any American citizen they do not personally or
politically agree with.
Sadly, it's Trump's need for ego lifting bravado that helps to
divide the party...both Republicans and Conservatives...but also is
the “Achilles Heel” Democrats are again counting on to
help keep them in power. Division was the very tactic used by the
“Never Trumpers” in 2020...in addition of course to what
was obvious Democrat voter fraud and false tabulations...that
together helped secure the White House for what in reality is Barack
HUSSEIN Obama's third term in office...as he continues to pull the
strings of a fool. Read entire article and see video here.
DeSantis Signs Massive School Choice Expansion Bill Into Law
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill
into law on Monday expanding school choice vouchers to all students in
the state of Florida.
“Today’s bill signing cements us
in that number one position because we’ll be signing legislation which
will represent the largest expansion of education choice not only in the
history of this state but in the history of these United States. That
is a big deal,” DeSantis said at the bill signing on Monday.
The bill, H.B. 1, states that “[a] parent of a student may request and receive from the state…if the student is a resident of this state and is eligible to enroll in kindergarten through grade 12 in a public school in this state.”
Townhall previously covered
how school choice programs helped elevate Florida from being one of the
lowest-ranked for education into one of the best. On top of that,
DeSantis has passed legislation protecting parental involvement in
education and outlawing classroom lessons that involve sexual
orientation and gender identity curriculum for young children. Read more see tweet and video here.

Losing 2024...Maybe...Maybe Not
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor /
Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio
This an opinion piece, my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com.
“We won twice, and now we’ve
got to win a third time,” statement
byPresident Donald
J. Trump to which he added that the attack on him courtesy
of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is “an attack on
all Americans who support me.”
Let me start with a few important
facts as I see them. Fact, President Trump was a president who should
be heralded on both the domestic and foreign policy fronts. Under his
stewardship our economy soared; inflation was at a 40-year low;
minority job numbers were their highest ever; our border crossing
numbers were but a shadow of what they are now; Russia and China were
kept in check; the Middle East was on the cusp of peace via the Trump
brokered “Abraham Accords;” and of utmost importance to
most is the fact that not only was America energy independent, but
that for four years American exceptionalism was something we again
took pride in.
And then came the 2020 election and
the latest start of America's downfall...an election lost not through votes
rightfully cast and tabulated, but an election lost courtesy of voter
fraud, tabulation irregularities...to put it mildly... and a four-year
long witch hunt planned and orchestrated by those still unable to get
over the fact that non-politician Donald J. Trump beat political shrew
Hillary Clinton. Now denying the Democrats anointed “savior”...Barack Obama...a swift path to his third term in office, the Democrats
payback for said election lost was to make Trump's first term in
office a living hell. And while that hell eventually saw much being
debunked, we still saw our 45th president not only being impeached
but being made a mockery of as he, as did we, see policies that
worked well for America being EO'd out by Joe Biden. Joe Biden, the
I believe puppet dangling on Obama's strings, saw to it that payback for
Hillary's loss was now complete, courtesy of America and Americans be
damned.
And like I stated, Trump was a great
president, a man I proudly voted for and will do so again if he gets
the nomination. But to be honest, I do not believe that Donald J.
Trump should be the Republican nominee, and I will not hide the fact
that I would prefer to see Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as both the
nominee and the 47th President of these United States.
But before I get into why, let's fast
forward to what's now happening as President Trump is still, as I'm
writing this, facing possible arrest courtesy of yet another
politically motivated, media driven, Democrat ploy...a ploy I believe
was initiated to help take the focus off the now exposed Biden
“crime” family. And know that like with the previous
scandals the accusations being made here...accusations regarding
“hush monies” being paid to “porn star” Stormy Daniels...are
not only bogus, but actually borders on the criminal in their own right. How
so? It seems that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg... a bought
and paid for George Soros shill desperately seeking his 15-minutes of
fame...a man who could care less about serving the citizens of New York
what with his refusing to prosecute let alone lock up real
criminals...now relishes in leading a pack of ever hungry politically
driven wolves out to stop another possible Trump v. Biden showdown.
And to that effect no option to stop
Trump remains off limits as far as Bragg is concerned including his
choosing to hide...as in keep from the grand jury...600 pages of
exculpatory evidence given to him by Robert Costello (Michael Cohen's
former legal adviser) before he was to give his grand jury testimony.
And with the district attorney having only turned over six
“cherry-picked” documents to said jury, we're now hearing
calls for not only Bragg's rightful disbarment, but the disbarment of
his “henchman” Mark Pomeranz, along with all the
prosecuting attorneys involved in what is not only an obvious
“travesty of justice,”
but the political weaponizing of the New York District Attorney's
office. How so...simply by said office trying to turn what was, at
best, a state level misdemeanor and turning it national solely to
push forward the lefts political agenda. And Bragg did so even while
knowing that the statute of limitations had run out on said charges.
How rightful it
would be to see Bragg being cuffed, posing for a mug shot,
fingerprinted, and brought up on charges of “dereliction of
duty” in regards to his kid glove handling of real criminal
charges; his wasting taxpayer dollars on leveling what he well knew were bogus
charges against President Trump; and for both slandering and defaming our
45th President, and doing so solely for his so wanted 15-minutes of political fame.
I wonder if
George Soros now thinks his funding of Alvin Bragg was money well
spent... sarcastically said of course.
And, again I'll say that Donald J. Trump was a great president. He's already been proven
innocent in regards to the Democrats orchestrated Russian collusion
nonsense; and he has weathered the storm of almost all the Democrats
have thrown at him...impeachment not withstanding. However, even if
this baseless “hush money” charge is eventually thrown
out...the fact remains that Trump still
faces three other Democrat initiated federal “criminal probes,”
alsowith
possible charges pending. The
first being, as per federal prosecutors, that Trump illegally
stored classified documents “likely to contain classified
information” at his Mar-a-Lago home thus violating the
Espionage Act; that he improperly handling federal records; and that
he obstructing a federal investigation into said documents.
The
second probe involves the January 6th attack on the Capitol, an
attack that now released Capitol tapes proves no “insurrection”
took place. And the third probe involves a Georgia state
criminal investigation into Trump's possible interference with the
2020 election...interference involving his “supposedly” trying to get Georgia's
election officials to overturn Georgia's 2020 election tally.
And with all this “political baggage” still hanging over
President Trump's head, know it will hang so until 2024 if not
beyond.
So while Donald Trump proved successful policy wise during his
four-years in office, his numerous poor cabinet picks left some to
wonder just who is advising him. And while Trump might indeed garner
the 2024 Republican nomination, in my opinion, he will not win back
the White House. Why so...because no matter whom he picks as his
VP...Mike Pompeo is my first choice followed by either Nikki Haley or
Kristi Noem...with Kari Lake and Marjorie Taylor Greene being
political poison for the independents...the fact remains that if the
Democrats were to keep the Senate, and if the Republicans were to
lose the House...or any combination thereof...we as a nation would be
in for but another four years of Democrat initiated phony scandals
and accusations even if Trump were to be elected. And if Trump was to
lose, the swamp would still be there; Hillary would continue to roam
free; Obama would still be the one pulling Biden's strings; George
Soros would remain the money behind the invasion at our southern
border; and the left's socialist wanted “fundamental
transformation” of America would probably reach fruition.
And all I've just stated is why, I believe, it’s time that we
Republicans and Conservatives set our sights on a new candidate. And
I remain steadfast in believing that candidate should be Florida's
Governor Ron DeSantis.Why so? First, Ron DeSantis...a founding member of the “House Freedom Caucus”...would fare better
in a head-to-head match-up against Joe Biden than would Donald Trump
in regards to certain key demographics.
And while, to date, die-hard
Trump supporters remain unwavering in their support for President
Trump...those now referred to as “Only Trumpers”...DeSantis
leads amongst the all-important Independent voters, both male and
female Hispanic voters, Christian voters, and Republican “Never
Trumpers” who voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. In other
words, Ron DeSantis not only is favored across certain key Republican
voting demographics, but he can bring in a healthy percentage of
moderate Democrat voters as witnessed by his almost 20% win over
rival Democrat Charlie Crist in Florida's recent governor's race...a race
that with DeSantis' overwhelming win turned the key state of Florida
from “purple” to decidedly and hopefully forever “red.”
"If I were to run, I'm running against Biden "Gov. DeSantis said in a recent interview with Piers Morgan. And the
last four words are what defines Ron DeSantis as to why he should be
the Republican nominee. How so? While Trump is busy putting other
Republican hopefuls down...especially those he fears most... making fun of any who dare to challenge him
while he over exaggerates his personal popularity, Ron DeSantis, who
has yet to announce whether he will run or not...will...if he does
run...run on his record and focus on who the enemy really is...Joe
Biden.
And again, while President Trump's economic and foreign policy records were
indeed great, Trump now seems to be ignoring said record, choosing
instead to spew out all sorts of silly nicknames peppered with egotistical
rhetoric and bravado not caring at all that he is breaking the great Ronald
Reagan's 11th commandment, “Thou shall not speak ill of fellow
Republicans.”
In fact, let's revisit these
words from the opening quote where Trump stated that the DA's attack
on him was also “an attack on all Americans who support
me.” But what Trumpforgets is that not everything
is about him nor is it about his supporters alone. What Trump should have said is
that said attack is actually an attack on all Americans whether they
support him or not. Why so...because now the door has been opened for
any Soros funded DA to be able to bring charges...bogus or
not...against any American citizen they do not personally or
politically agree with.
Sadly, it's Trump's need for ego lifting bravado that helps to
divide the party...both Republicans and Conservatives...but also is
the “Achilles Heel” Democrats are again counting on to
help keep them in power. Division was the very tactic used by the
“Never Trumpers” in 2020...in addition of course to what
was obvious Democrat voter fraud and false tabulations...that
together helped secure the White House for what in reality is Barack
Obama's third term in office...as he continues to pull the
strings of a fool.
So what has Gov. DeSantis done for Florida that he could and would
do for the whole of the United States...simply he would see that
the policies that made us the “Free State of Florida” were
initiated across the entirety of our great nation.
Remember, Gov, DeSantis said “no” to Joe Biden's Covid mask
mandates, “jabs,” and lock down nonsense keeping Florida
open, thus allowing businesses to survive during the pandemic; he reopened Florida's schools while other states were afraid to; he reset, if you
will, Florida's educational system to not only be in favor of parents
rights but he stood strong for Florida's children and against the
forced upon said children “woke” nonsense, along with his
removing from Florida's curriculum the hate mongering rhetoric that
is the hallmark of “Critical Race Theory.” And Gov.
DeSantis put in place common sense abortion laws and stands strong
with our constitutionally given Second Amendment gun rights. Also, not to be forgotten
is the speed at which the rebuilding of Florida's southwest coast
after hurricane Ian has taken place, and it's all due to DeSantis'
actual caring about we his Florida constituents, while Biden paid but a
fast photo-op visit then looked away.
Simply, there is a reason that Florida is the number one state so
many are moving to...businesses included...and that reason is Gov.
Ron DeSantis and his courageous, no nonsense, anti-woke, common sense, pro-America, pro-constituent policies.
And these are but a few of his many accomplishments including the
fact that Ron DeSantis carries none of the “political baggage”
that Donald Trump does, “political baggage” that diverts us away
from the real issues we need to be focused on. We have to move on
from “baggage” based campaigning and rhetoric or we will
become not just more divided as a nation but we will become even more
of a laughing stock on the world stage.
Simply, the mood in our
country has changed, and while we know Donald Trump loves this
country...no one can or should dispute that...but for love of country
Trump needs to first stop making inane ego driven comments like his recent, “there will be death and destruction if I am indicted”...which in my opinion is paramount to a possible call for violence...and learns to.shut his mouth and step back, and help turn over the stewardship of
America to the next generation of leaders. And in my opinion there is
no better man to be that leader than Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Case closed.

Piers Morgan vs Ron DeSantis | The Full UNCUT Interview
Wednesday, March 22, 2023
DeSantis highlights differences with Trump: 'I would have fired' Fauci
Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., drew contrast between his and former President Donald Trump's handling of COVID-19, saying he would have "fired" Dr. Anthony Fauci if he were president during the pandemic.
"Well
I think there's a few things," DeSantis told Piers Morgan in an
interview, set to air Thursday on Fox Nation, when asked about his
differences with Trump.
"The approach to COVID was different. I
would have fired somebody like Fauci. I think he got way too big for his
britches, and I think he did a lot of damage," DeSantis told Morgan.
DeSantis recently called out Fauci, former chief medical advisor to Trump, for his involvement in the pandemic, demanding he be "held accountable" particularly with regard to school lockdowns and mask mandates.
The
governor, a top rumored contender for the 2024 GOP nomination, said
that he and Trump also differ "in terms of my approach to leadership…
The way we run the government I think is no daily drama, focus on the
big picture and put points on the board and I think that’s something
that’s very important." Read more and see video here.
