Kamala Harris Eviscerates Joe Biden Over Pre-Debate Phone Call

Former Vice President Kamala Harris threw some serious shade at her former boss in her book about why she failed to win the 2024 presidential election.

Politico published an excerpt from Harris’ book in which she criticized former President Joe Biden over a phone call he made to her just before her debate with President Donald Trump.

Moments before a make-or-break debate with Donald Trump, Kamala Harris got an unexpected phone call: It was a peeved President Joe Biden, demanding to know why she had been bad-mouthing him to donors.

The call left Harris rattled at a critical moment in her abbreviated campaign and highlighted her at-times strained relationship with her boss, the former vice president writes in a new memoir released Thursday.

“My head had to be right. I had to be completely in the game,” she recalled. “I just couldn’t understand why he would call me, right now, and make it all about himself.”

Harris recounts the anecdote in “107 Days,” her account of her failed sprint of a campaign for the White House, to illustrate what she portrays as an at-times strained relationship with Biden before and after his decision to abruptly abandon his reelection effort.

Harris wrote she felt “warmth and loyalty” towards Biden, but that their relationship was tested leading up to the election, including with the phone call ahead of the September debate when he accused her of criticizing him to “powerbrokers” in Philadelphia. “Why’s he asking that?” Harris wrote.

 Ex-Biden Aide Jeff Zeints Drops Bombshells in Explosive Testimony on Biden’s Cognitive Decline and Confesses Hunter Was “Directly Involved” in Pardons

The Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, opened an investigation into the autopen scandal and subpoenaed several Biden aides for documents and testimony.

Ex-Biden aide Jeff Zeints dropped bombshells during his testimony to the Oversight Committee on Thursday.

Over the summer, the New York Times reported that former White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zeints actually approved pardons for Dr. Fauci and others on January 19:

At the Jan. 19 meeting, which took place in the Yellow Oval Room of the White House residence, Mr. Biden kept his aides until nearly 10 p.m. to talk through such decisions, according to people familiar with the matter.

The emails show that an aide to Mr. Siskel sent a draft summary of Mr. Biden’s decisions at that meeting to an assistant to Mr. Zients, copying Mr. Siskel, at 10:03 p.m. The assistant forwarded it to Mr. Reed and Mr. Zients, asking for their approval, and then sent a final version to Ms. Feldman — copying many meeting participants and aides — at 10:28 p.m.

Three minutes later, Mr. Zients hit “reply all” and wrote, “I approve the use of the autopen for the execution of all of the following pardons.”

According to The New York Post, Zeints testified on Thursday that he called for a post-debate cognitive test and said Joe Biden’s memory got worse in office.

Zeints also told congressional investigators that Hunter Biden was “directly involved” in pardons!

““Toward the end of the Biden administration, Hunter Biden was involved with the pardon discussions and attended a few meetings,” the source revealed of Zients’ comments, confirming prior reports about how much influence the first son exerted amid a firearms felony conviction and pleading guilty to tax evasion,” the New York Post reported.

Humiliating state of Joe Biden finances revealed: Unwanted president can’t get a paid job and will likely die in debt

He retired late and has a mortgage not set to be paid off until just after his 100th birthday.

Some might say that’s not the best of financial planning.

And as he struggles to find his post-presidential feet there seems little prospect that Joe Biden, 82, will get any help from some of his Democratic friends.

Many of them are still seething at the octogenarian’s decision to attempt a reelection bid in 2024, and have little appetite to invite him to make lucrative speeches, or to contribute funds to his presidential library.

‘There isn’t a whole lot of goodwill for the former president in some key corridors of power, and that stems from the fact that he never should have tried to mount a reelection,’ one Democratic insider told the Daily Mail.

‘A lot of us are frustrated and even angry.

‘So, there are very few of us who are well disposed to want to support a presidential library or to provide him any other kind of financial support.

‘There are a lot of Democrats that remain really disappointed In what he did and would rather he ride off into the Rehoboth sunset.’

Usually, the years after a presidency are when the money pours in, but for Biden the financial future looks rather bleak.

He is hardly on the breadline, but his finances seem remarkably removed from what voters might expect for a former commander in chief.

According to public records, he left office with a mortgage on his main home in Wilmington, Delaware of somewhere between $250,000 and $500,000, at an interest rate of 3.375 percent.

He took out that 30-year loan with TD Bank in 2013, when he was aged 70, and it was initially for over $500,000, so he did make some progress reducing it as president.

Meanwhile, he has also been juggling a $250,000 home equity loan taken out on his holiday home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware in 2022, while he was in the White House.

It was a 10-year debt, due to be paid off when he is aged 90, and is on a variable interest rate.

If Donald Trump succeeds in his ongoing quest to get Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates then that would help out Biden on that loan.

Biden administration FBI probe targeting Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA revealed

Multiple America First leaders are speaking out against the weaponization of the justice system, revealing that the Biden administration’s FBI “improperly” targeted Republican groups during their “Arctic Frost” probe, which included recently assassinated political powerhouse, Charlie Kirk, and his Turning Point USA organization. 

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, noted that a whistleblower confirmed that while operation “Arctic Frost” was supposedly designed to investigate claims that President Donald Trump attempted to overturn the questionable 2020 election, the FBI used its power to target Republican bystanders. 

Nearly 100 Republican groups and individuals were politically targeted, including Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point USA organization, according to Grassley. He stated, “In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was a vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”

After the hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., discussed the FBI targeting of Kirk on the Jesse Waters show on Fox News. He said he believed that the intention was purely intimidation. He called the Biden administration’s political weaponization of the justice system “Nothing but terrorism.”

Review of domestic terrorism after Kirk’s murder shows Biden politicized issue, intel, fudged data

Auseful picture of the domestic terrorism threat in America in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk has not yet come into focus, as the actual threat-scape has been muddled by the politicization of intelligence and by an overbroad use of the phrase “domestic terrorism.”

A review of the Biden administration’s application of the phrase shows that the phrase was used as a justification for targeting January 6 rioters, parents concerned about what their children were being taught in schools, and a wildly uneven treatment of those groups when compared to the widespread violence and destruction caused by Antifa and other progressive groups. 

The issue came to light as authorities announced last week that they had arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection to the killing of Kirk, a popular conservative influencer and ally of President Donald Trump. Robinson allegedly gunned down Kirk last Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Kirk’s murder comes after two attempted assassinations of Trump and years of the Biden administration pointing to the January 6 riots and claiming “rightwing” extremism or “domestic terrorism” as the main domestic threat facing the U.S. 

Nonetheless, it took the FBI years to acknowledge that the mass shooting at a Republican congressional group practicing baseball —  by self-professed “Bernie Bro” James T. Hodgkinson — was an act of domestic terror.

Biden’s FBI Targeted Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA

FBI Director Kash Patel faces questions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday morning, during which Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) revealed that whistleblower revelations showed that Joe Biden’s FBI targeted not just Donald Trump, but a wide swath of Republican organizations — including Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.

Grassley reminded Patel of the FBI’s recent history of political weaponization, pointing directly to an operation known as “Arctic Frost.”

“At your nomination hearing, I made public records that whistleblowers provide me about Arctic Frost,” Grassley said. “Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-Trump FBI Agent Thibeau. Arctic Frost then became Jack Smith’s elector case against then-citizen Trump and now-President Trump.”

According to Grassley, newly obtained records show that the Arctic Frost probe was far broader than previously known. “The case was expanded to Republican organizations,” Grassley explained. “Some examples of the group that Wray and FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorney General’s Association, and various Trump political groups.”

The scope was staggering. “In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under investigative scope of Arctic Frost,” Grassley said. “On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk’s groups, Turning Point USA.”

Grassley argued that the evidence proves that Arctic Frost was more than just an anti-Trump operation. It was actually about crippling the Republican political infrastructure. 

“In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump,” Grassley declared. “It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus.”

New FBI files released by Sen. Chuck Grassley show more Hunter, Joe Biden bribery allegations

Newly declassified FBI files set to be released Tuesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley will reveal more bribery allegations involving former first son Hunter Biden and former President Joe Biden that may have never been fully investigated.

The files memorialize two interviews, in 2017 and 2019, with FBI sources who shared details about the Biden family being linked to a possible foreign bribery “scheme” with Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, according to copies reviewed by The Post.

The informants alleged that Zlochevsky sought to offer then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko $100 million in “shares and guaranteed profits from gas sales” to stop an “Interpol investigation” into Burisma — into which Joe and Hunter Biden had “money invested” via a Latvian “shell company.”

The sources also alleged that Joe Biden met directly with Poroshenko “to protect the interests” of his son and, by extension, Zlochevsky, who was paying Hunter around $1 million per year between May 2014 and April 2019 to serve on Burisma’s board.

The future 46th president’s effort to protect Burisma’s owner was also allegedly supported by members of the US intelligence community.

“[T]wo CIA officers took Zlochevsky into the office of Yuriy Lutsenko, who is the Prosecutor General of Ukraine,” reads the one document, also known as an FD-1023, drawn from an in-person interview with a confidential human source on Feb. 21, 2019.

Karine Jean-Pierre: Biden’s health talking points were handled ‘at senior level’

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre testified before the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into former President Joe Biden’s physical and cognitive fitness while in office.

Jean-Pierre did not speak to reporters before or after the five-hour interview on Capitol Hill.

She told the committee that “she did not see a change in Biden’s competency from 2009 to 2025,” according to a source familiar with the interview.

“She did acknowledge President Biden is not the same speaker he was when she met him,” the source noted. However, “she does not know why his speaking changed and never asked him.”

The former Biden press secretary publicly defended Biden’s June 2024 debate against President Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election. During the debate, Trump famously responded to an incoherent comment from the then-president, “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either.”

Jean-Pierre told reporters at a press briefing following the debate that Biden was “as sharp as ever.”

According to the anonymous source, Jean-Pierre said she was told by “senior staff that President Biden has a cold.”

During her two years working for the Biden administration, she also called online videos critical of Biden’s mental acuity “cheap fakes.”

Citing the “cheap fakes” comment at the interview, Jean-Pierre said that this talking point “appeared as a talking point in her binder, but she does not know specifically who added it.”

Jean-Pierre told investigators that “various advisors” added talking points into her press briefing binder, but talking points related specifically to Biden’s health and mental fitness “were handled exclusively at the senior level,” the source said.

Jean-Pierre’s tenure as White House press secretary began when she replaced former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki in 2022 and ended when Biden’s term came to a close in early 2025. She announced shortly after leaving her post that she would also be leaving the Democrat party to become an Independent. Around that time, she broke the news about her new book detailing her time working under the Biden administration.

“Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines” is set to be published on October 21, 2025. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (D-Ky.) said that Jean-Pierre was intentionally one of the last people to be interviewed for the investigation due to the upcoming memoir.

“We believe that she’s written some things in the book that are gonna be of interest to our entire investigation,” Comer told reporters.

Trans ‘partner’ of Charlie Kirk suspect ‘praised Joe Biden’ before conservative activist was shot… as link to bizarre ‘furry’ lifestyle revealed

The transgender ‘partner’ of Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter shared a post online appearing to show support for President Joe Biden, the Daily Mail can reveal.

Lance Twiggs, a 22-year-old wannabe pro gamer, and roommate of main suspect Tyler Robinson, also 22, made the remark in a Reddit post.

It has now been widely reported that Twiggs was transitioning genders, and was allegedly in a romantic relationship with Robinson.

Twiggs goes by the name ‘lancelotte’ on social media accounts including Instagram.

A Steam gaming account currently called ‘fluxalotl’ previously had the username ‘lancelotte’ as well as slight variation ‘lancelott3’, and is friends with a user named ‘Craftin247’ – an account linked to the shooter.

‘Lancelotte’ had their ‘real name’ listed on Steam as ‘Lance’ – until December 11 last year, when the gamer changed it to ‘Luna’.

An account on online forum Reddit with the username ‘lancelott3’ posted extensively in a group for transgender issues, and in one conversation on the site mentioned that they were from Utah.

A post from the same account was made to the ‘Love for Landlords’ subreddit – where users share trolling posts pretending to show support for landlords.

Lancelott3’s comment read: ‘We are riding with Biden on this glorious subreddit.’

A post from one year ago by the same user also discussed medications to ‘slow beard growth’ and ‘get good hip growth’.

‘No Way’: Joe Biden Can’t Find Donors For His Presidential Library

Joe Biden has set his sights on establishing a presidential library, but he’s confronting a familiar obstacle: no one seems willing to foot the bill.

According to NBC News, the former president is trying to fundraise for the construction of the Joe Biden Presidential Library, but donors are simply not interested.

Their report stated:

Former President Joe Biden is running into a problem in his nascent effort to raise money for a presidential library: Donors are checked out.

Most of the more than half a dozen people who were once major Biden donors or bundlers who spoke with NBC News said they harbored no ill will toward Biden himself but either wouldn’t give to the library or would give only a token amount. A number of them requested anonymity to speak frankly.

They cited a range of factors, from not wanting to make themselves a target of the White House to holding their financial firepower for the party’s future. Some cited personal interactions with Biden’s inner circle as being so distasteful they believed it would be a barrier to ever raising significant funds for the 46th president of the United States.

Biden also faces residual anger from the party over his decision to seek a second term despite health issues.

Since Franklin D. Roosevelt, every U.S. president has opened a library to showcase their time in office.

These libraries hold official records, personal papers, and exhibits designed to shape how future generations view each presidency.

The catch is that presidents have to raise the money themselves.

Construction is privately funded, usually through donations from wealthy backers and corporate allies, before the library is handed over to the National Archives to run.

Successful fundraising has become a key test of how much influence and goodwill a president retains after leaving office.

Given that Biden is suffering from prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, the 46th president now faces a race against time to secure the funding for such a project. C

Couple that with his disastrous political legacy, and the likelihood of seeing a presidential library completed in his lifetime looks increasingly remote.
