Weekend News Round Up – As RFK Jr. Speaks Truth to Enthusiastic Crowds across America, the DNC Descends into Panic
“I think we’ve reached a time where it’s no longer character assassination to ask legitimate questions about the President’s competency. There are so many decisions that require nuance, that require complex levels of thinking and … those kinds of issues are coming at you many times a day. The American people have a right to understand whether their President is capable of making those decisions.” – RFK Jr.
Today’s leading news – Kennedy on the march in Michigan:
“The road to the White House has long come through Michigan. The same will be true again in 2024, with Republicans and Democrats fighting over those important electoral votes to make sure they ultimately win in November. But Saturday, another voice – a man who says he is no longer affiliated with any party – spoke to a packed house at St. Cecilia Music Center in downtown Grand Rapids about how he thinks he can bring the country together.” – At GR rally, RFK Jr. says he can reunite the nation | WOODTV

American Values 2024 Responds to DNC attacks:
“The Biden administration and the DNC clearly find democracy inconvenient, want to stifle any dissenting opinions and don’t believe that their candidate can win a free, open and fair election,” said Tony Lyons, co-chair of American Values 2024. – Democrats step up legal action against RFK Jr. allies – signaling worry over the independent candidate | Politico
“The DNC is in panic mode and rolling out tired old political games,” Lyons said in a statement. “While Bobby Kennedy is crisscrossing the country speaking truth to passionate supporters, describing ideas, policies, common sense solutions to complex problems, Biden surrogates are pushing the usual conspiracy theories.” – Democrats sound alarm, take action against Biden’s third-party threats | The Washington Post

“The DNC wants to deny millions of people their basic constitutional voting rights in a relentless onslaught against democracy,” said Lyons, adding that “the Biden administration and the DNC clearly find democracy inconvenient, want to stifle any dissenting opinions and don’t believe that their candidate can win a free, open and fair election.” – DNC files federal complaint alleging RFK Jr.’s super PAC is working too closely with his campaign | AP
Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s refusal to grant RFK Jr. Secret Service protection is receiving more scrutiny:
“These documents confirm the bureaucratic and political runaround the Biden administration went through to ultimately deny Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the requested Secret Service protection,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. “The Biden administration’s refusal to provide Secret Service protection to Mr. Kennedy is dangerous and vindictive. Congress would do well to follow up on these disturbing documents uncovered by Judicial Watch’s FOIA investigation and lawsuit.” – Secret Service orders ‘no response’ to RFK Jr.’s protection plea | Washington Examiner

Biden’s decline:
Special Counsel Robert Hur announced he will file no charges in the Biden classified documents case – although Biden’s actions “present serious risks to national security” – because the president’s memory is too poor. According to Hur’s report, “Biden’s memory in his interview with the special counsel’s office” in October 2023 “was even worse” than when a ghostwriter had interviewed him in 2017 about his vice presidency. “He didn’t remember when he was vice president, forgot when his term had ended, or when his son Beau died. Biden also allegedly forgot who his allies had been on Afghanistan policy and mistakenly identified one as an antagonist. His memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.” – Biden Knowingly Kept and Shared Classified Material, Special Counsel Concludes | The Wall Street Journal

I watch Racket News’ America This Week podcast regularly. Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn always offer an insightful and often humorous spin on current events. They were recording on Thursday night when President Biden spoke to the White House Press Corps in an attempt to demonstrate his cognitive competency in light of the DOJ report on his handling of government documents. Then President Biden returned to the podium … and watch what happens next:

Yes we have long known the DNC are criminals, that is not news.
Time to realize the simple facts regarding '24. RFK has done astounding things to expose and decimate the Democrats. He has done the same about Big Pharma and the Medical Cartel their obedient lackeys. It is likely true that he was perfectly positioned to do this when no one else could have... Bravo.
Yet another first-rate edition of The Kennedy Beacon! Gold stars to Louis Conte and everyone responsible!
In demeanor and speech, Kennedy comes across as a leader capable of uniting our dangerously divided country because he addresses the crises that have multiplied under the U.S. oligarchy that, for too many decades, has ignored the needs of We the People. Just yesterday, I read a comment online: "Big Tech, Big Pharma and the MIC rule our lives" which pretty well sums it up.
