CLOSET MUSLIM, SERVANT TO MUSLIM DICTATORS Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s back door, however, was unique to him. Before prosecutors send some of the dimmer Hollywood stars to the slammer for their dimness, they might want to ask just how much influence a Saudi billionaire peddled to get Obama into Harvard.

PUT THEM IN PRISON? THE LIVES OF CRIME OF GAMER LAWYER BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN
Jesse Watters: Biden is facing another huge scandal tonight
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the 2020 letter from former intelligence officers that falsely dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop as misinformation was not his idea, seemingly contradicting testimony from a former top CIA official, Michael Morell, who told Congress he organized the letter after taking a phone call from Blinken.
"With regard to that letter, I didn’t—wasn’t my idea, didn’t ask for it, didn’t solicit it. And I think the testimony that the former deputy director of the CIA, Mike Morell, put forward confirms that," Blinken told Fox News on Monday. The dismissal comes after Morelltold the House Judiciary Committee in April that he organized the October 2020 letter after talking with Blinken, who then served on the Biden campaign.
Asked whether he "accept[s] that the laptop is not Russian disinformation," Blinken deflected and said he is focused on other matters.
Morell said the Biden campaign worked with the former intelligence officials to plan the letter's release. It was eventually published by Politico on Oct. 17, 2020, in an article titled, "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say."
Morell told the House committee that Blinken contacted him on Oct. 17, 2020, to discuss the New York Post's reporting on the contents of Biden’s laptop. He added that Blinken sent him an article that said the FBI was investigating whether the laptop was part of a "disinformation campaign." Morell said Blinken’s outreach "triggered" him to create a letter that dismissed the release of the emails as a probable Russian disinformation campaign.
Several outlets, including the New York Times, have now confirmed the laptop belonged to Biden and that the contents are real.
House Republicans last month sent a letter to Blinken in which they argued the Biden campaign "had the effect of helping to suppress the Hunter Biden story and preventing American citizens from making a fully informed decision during the 2020 presidential election."
Blinken is also under fire over accusations that he committed perjury when he denied emailing Hunter Biden. Republican senator Ron Johnson (Wis.) said that while Blinken claimed in a 2020 deposition that he never emailed the president's son, emails on Biden's laptop show he did.
Attorney General Merrick Garland stood by his claims the Justice Department’s probe into Hunter Biden for alleged tax violations has never been improperly politicized within the agency.
Hunter is under investigation by the DOJ for tax fraud, money laundering, and violation of lobbying laws. Prosecutor David Weiss for months has been weighing if there is sufficient evidence for the grand jury to indict him on a reported four charges: three tax crimes and one gun crime.
As the case appeared to quietly stall, an IRS agent alleged in April the improper politicization of a tax probe into the president’s son. The whistleblower alleged two Biden administration political appointees within the DOJ are working to block charges against Hunter for tax violations – against recommendations.
In addition, the IRS agent alleged Weiss asked to be named as a special counsel in the probe to provide a degree of separation between the probe and Joe Biden. That request was turned down, the whistleblower said.
According to a report, the unidentified IRS official has specifically accused Garland of misled Congress about probe.
On Tuesday, Garland denied the accusations during a press briefing. When questioned if the “investigation would be conducted without any kind of political interference,” as Garland had promised Congress on multiple occasions, the Biden attorney general said he stands by his testimony.
“It’s still the case. I stand by my testimony,” he said. “And I refer you to the U.S. attorney from the district of Delaware who is in charge of this case and capable of making any decisions he feels is appropriate.”
According to a recent poll, a majority of Democrats say Hunter Biden’s alleged “preferential treatment” in his tax case with the Justice Department is a serious scandal. Among all likely voters, 69 percent say it is a serious scandal, including 48 percent who say it is very serious.
Meanwhile, the probe into the president’s son remains under the purview of Garland’s appointed prosecutor, though former Attorney General Bill Barr and constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley believe a special counsel must be appointed to investigate the case.
Garland has vowed Wiess has the autonomy to recommend changes, but Biden’s attorney general has also admitted he has to sign off on the charges.
The tax probe into Hunter could implicate President Joe Biden. A witness who testified before the jury was reportedly asked to identify the “big guy.”
A majority of registered voters believe President Joe Biden’s family received millions of dollars from Chinese government-linked sources, a Wednesday Harvard Caps/Harris poll found.
On April 17, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced that a total of nine Biden family members may have profited from the family’s international business schemes, six more than previously disclosed. Those currently identified on the payroll are Hunter Biden, James Biden, Hallie Biden — and a fourth unidentified Biden.
Collectively, the identified Biden family members have received $1.3 million from a Biden associate, who was wired $3 million from a Chinese energy company two months after Joe Biden left the vice presidency.
The poll asked respondents, “Do you think the Biden family received millions of dollars from sources related to the Chinese government or is that a false story?”
Overall, 56 percent said the Biden family did receive money from sources linked to the Chinese government, while 44 percent said it did not receive money.
The majority of independent voters (55 percent) believe the Biden family received funds. Forty-five percent said it did not.
Among Democrats, 68 percent said it was a “false story.” Thirty-two percent said the Biden family received funds tied to the Chinese government.
Republicans overwhelmingly (81 percent) believe the Biden family received the funds. Nineteen percent do not believe the story.
On Tuesday, Breitbart News requested a comment on who the nine family members might be who received millions, but a spokesperson for the committee declined to reveal their identities. The committee did not give a time frame for the reveal that it says is coming eventually.
While the committee has been extremely active behind the scenes, gathering information about the business dealings of the president’s family members, it has not disclosed much of these details yet. Moreover, it remains to be seen if the committee intends to have public hearings with these Biden family members testifying or other public hearings with other witnesses, including the several people the committee says are cooperating from inside the Biden business — or if the committee will release any reports on its findings.
The poll also asked respondents, “Have you recently heard or not heard anything about the banking transactions of the Biden family?”
Fifty-six percent said they have not heard anything about the banking transactions. Forty-four percent said they had heard.
In addition, the poll asked respondents if “Joe Biden participated in his son’s business deals or did Biden does not he never discuss them with his son?”
Fifty-seven percent said Joe Biden did participate, down from 62 percent in February.
The survey sampled 1,845 registered voters from April 18-19. The margin of error was not provided.
Watch—CNN’s Burnett: New Biden Family Payment Evidence “Doesn’t Look Good”
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE WHAT JOE BIDEN WILL DO FOR THE ENEMY. HE'S A FUKING SOCIOPATH!
The Biden Junta is the easily the most anti-Christian administration in U.S. history. Biden’s FBI infiltrates churches, persecutes pro-life Christians, and portrays Christian parents as domestic terrorists. Christians are targeted for believing that men and women are different, and so on. In the midst of this jihad, Christian affirmation has been on full display on movie screens across the nation.
Jesus Revolution
Americans flock to see a public display of Christian affirmation.
As Roger Kimball recently observed, Easter is “a holiday commemorating a miracle,” and back in April of 1956, three Manhattan skyscrapers illuminated certain windows to form crosses, a massive “public display of Christian affirmation.” That was then, Kimball laments, and “now things are different.”
The Biden Junta is the easily the most anti-Christian administration in U.S. history. Biden’s FBI infiltrates churches, persecutes pro-life Christians, and portrays Christian parents as domestic terrorists. Christians are targeted for believing that men and women are different, and so on. In the midst of this jihad, Christian affirmation has been on full display on movie screens across the nation.
Jesus Revolution, directed by John Irwin and Brian McCorkle, dramatizes a spiritual awakening during the late 1960s. Launched on February 24 at number three, Jesus Revolution remained in the top ten, and as of April 6 had taken in $50 million at the box office, a landmark for any movie. To its great credit, the film provides historical context, a previous religious movement headed by different brand of evangelist.
Timothy Leary promoted personal salvation based on lysergic acid diethylamide, LSD, a synthetic chemical made from a substance found in ergot, a fungus that infects rye. In 1966, Leary founded the League of Spiritual Discovery (LSD), incorporated as a religious institution in New York State.
In Jesus Revolution, Steve Hanks (JailBait) plays Leary, whose slogan, reportedly a suggestion of Marshall McLuhan, was “Turn on, tune in, and drop out.” By 1967, thousands were taking it literally and heading for California, where the magical mystery tour was waiting to take them away. It did, big time, and viewers might benefit from more detail.
People wore T-shirts reading “Better Living Through Chemistry,” and “There is No Hope Without Dope.” LSD came branded as Orange Wedge, Blue Cheer and such, and was sometimes bundled with other exotic substances. No refunds for bad trips, and there were plenty.
By 1968, many of the beautiful people were walking around, as John Kay of Steppenwolf said, “with tombstones in their eyes.” The people of the Jesus movement sought them out, but not just as an audience for preaching. A network of communes called the “Houses of Miracles” gave drug culture dropouts a safe place to stay, and grow.
The unofficial minister of the communes was Orange County minister Chuck Smith, played by “Cheers” veteran Kelsey Grammer. Jonathan Roumie (The Chosen) plays hippie preacher Lonnie Frisbee, a key figure in the movement. Lonnie and his wife Connie were veterans of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, the “best known distributor of LSD,” as Jay Stevens explains in Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream.
Lonnie has a theatrical side that disturbs some of Chuck’s older church members. On the other hand, Lonnie brings in many from the streets. The ministry grows by leaps and bounds, with Lonnie conducting mass baptisms at Pirate’s Cove. Young Greg Laurie (John Courtney) eventually takes the plunge and soon becomes immersed in the ministry.
Greg meets Cathe (Anna Grace Barlow) also involved with the growing church, but her parents look askance at Greg’s career possibilities as a preacher in the style of Lonnie. Greg grows in the faith and expands his role. Young people come from far and wide to hear him and get baptized. The Jesus revolution winds up on the cover of Time Magazine and the rest is history. A two-hour film can’t possibly cover it all.
Timothy Leary got busted for drugs but in 1970 the Weather Underground broke him out of the California Men’s Colony, a prison in San Luis Obispo. Leary fled to Algeria, where Eldridge Cleaver and other Black Panthers had taken refuge. Leary moved on to Switzerland and Afghanistan, where he was captured and returned stateside. In 1976, California Gov. Jerry Brown released the LSD prophet, who passed away in 1996.
The Houses of Miracles expanded into the Shiloh Youth Revival Centers in the Pacific northwest. Some communards moved on to more conventional churches and lifestyles while others went their own way.
In 1973, Lonnie and Connie Frisbee parted company and Lonnie died in 1993. Chuck Smith, a mainstay in the Calvary Chapel churches, passed away in 2013. Greg Laurie and others continue to this day, preaching the gospel around the world.
With Hollywood so hostile to Christianity, it is something of a miracle that Jesus Revolution, based on Greg Laurie’s book, ever got made. The movie has earned $50 million, and that success evokes another back story.
As the late Paul Johnson noted in Modern Times, religion failed to disappear as the left had so confidently prophesied. Modern idols can’t deliver, and spiritual hunger runs deep. During the administration of a demented anti-Christian bigot, people flock to see a public display of Christian affirmation.
Meanwhile, it’s good that Easter signifies a miracle, Roger Kimball writes, “because we are going to need one.” Jesus Revolution hints at the possibilities.

Biden Establishes ‘Interagency Task Force With Senior Government Officials’ to Stop ‘Islamophobia’
Do the feds really need to step in to protect Muslims in America?
Old Joe Biden’s ghostwriters issued a statement Thursday to congratulate Muslims on Eid al-Fitr, the feast marking the end of the fasting-by-day-and-gorging-by-night month of Ramadan. Predictably, it was anodyne and obsequious in the extreme, with Biden celebrating how Muslims “decorate their homes, give gifts to loved ones, wear new clothes, and visit family and friends.” The faux president is made to add: “I am moved by the generosity that is shown from families that can provide food and give charity to those in need through Zakat-al-Fitr.” In the course of all this flattery, Biden’s writer drops in a serious note: there is now a U.S. government task force dedicated to fighting “Islamophobia.”
The statement quickly shifts from telling us how wonderful it is that Muslims wear new clothes and visit family and friends to depicting Muslims as victims: “Eid al-Fitr marks the completion of a holy month dedicated to devotion, charity, and reflection—a time when we also remember Muslim communities around the world that are enduring conflict, poverty, hunger, and disease, and those that are displaced from their homes.” That served to set up the big announcement. Biden’s ghostwriter continued: “As we celebrate our blessings this Eid, let us also recommit ourselves to the timeless work of building peace and standing up for the rights and dignity of all people.” When the White House writers start depicting Old Joe babbling about peace and human rights, you know something bad is coming.
Doing this work for peace and human dignity will apparently require new restrictions on speech: “My Administration is also committed to addressing all forms of hate, including Islamophobia. This is why I established an interagency task force with senior government officials to tackle this and related challenges and encourage every American to build a more inclusive nation.” Good, because Lord knows we aren’t “inclusive” enough yet. Every last person in the world doesn’t live here on the taxpayer dime yet, so there is a long way to go.
Meanwhile, exactly what pressing need is this interagency task force designed to address? Are Muslims in the U.S. really subjected to such widespread discrimination and harassment that the feds need to step in? The record shows otherwise. FBI hate crime statistics show that Muslims are rarely targeted in hate crimes, which far more often victimize Jews and others. In fact, anti-Muslim hate crimes actually declined by 42% from 2020 to 2021. But those facts don’t fit the narrative that Muslims face widespread discrimination and harassment in the United States, and so the facts have to take a back seat.
And how is the new “interagency task force with senior government officials” going to “tackle” “Islamophobia”? No doubt we will now be inundated with taxpayer-funded material about how wonderful Islam is. In the nature of things, however, there will still be human disputes, and some of them will involve Muslims. Now that “Islamophobia” has been established as targeted by the government, these disputes will all be ascribed to “Islamophobia” and offered as evidence of how urgently needed this “interagency task force” really is. The “Islamophobia” task force will therefore likely enjoy ever-increasing budgets. That’s how government agencies work: they have to justify their existence, so they keep having to find more and more of the thing they’re supposed to be stamping out.
Most importantly, since the Biden regime is now officially committed to efforts to convince us of the wonderfulness of Islam, it is not likely to look kindly upon critics of the religion, including opponents of jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women. Will the interagency task force make any efforts to protect the right of Americans to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression? Will it be careful to distinguish such criticism from the alleged hatred that this task force is supposed to be combating, or will it act upon the assumption that any and all criticism of Islam, and even of jihad terror, subjects Muslims to “hate” and must accordingly be silenced?
Since the Left has been insisting that opposition to jihad violence is “hate” ever since 9/11, my money is on the latter. But this is a preposterous claim that, if followed logically (which of course it never will be, as this “Islamophobia” business is fundamentally illogical), would preclude any criticism of anything as possibly leading to “hate” and violence. In practice, it will preclude all criticism of anything the Left favors. And the freedom of speech will be eroded even further.
