Google Admits Biden White House Pressured Content Removal, Promises to Restore Banned YouTube Accounts

After years of denying bias, Google now concedes that it gave in to pressure from the Biden White House to remove content that did not breach its own rules.

The admission comes alongside a promise to restore access to YouTube accounts permanently removed for political speech related to COVID-19 and elections, topics where government officials had applied behind-the-scenes pressure to control the narrative.

This move follows sustained scrutiny from the House Judiciary Committee, which Reclaim The Net covered extensively, led by Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), who issued a subpoena and spearheaded an investigation that revealed the extent of government influence on content moderation decisions at Google.

In a letter from its legal representative, Google confirmed that it faced pressure from the federal government to suppress lawful speech.

We obtained a copy of the letter for you here.

Google revealed that it had been contacted multiple times by top federal officials regarding content on its platforms, even when that content did not break any rules.

The company stated that “Senior Biden Administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the Company regarding certain user-generated content related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not violate its policies.”

Kamala’s Memoir Is So Bad, It’s Hard To Believe She Read It

The reviews are in for former Vice President Kamala Harris’ memoir, “107 Days.” The book is bad on its own merits. And worse for what’s left of Harris’ reputation. 

First, an unforgivably tardy critique of former President Joe Biden’s decision to stay in the presidential race. Harris never managed to artfully separate from Biden after she took his place as Democratic nominee. 

“‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris writes, according to a screenshot. “Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”

An honest Democrat strategist might say the same of Harris’ decision to run in Biden’s stead. 

But Harris isn’t done complaining. 

“I shouldered the blame for the porous border, an issue that had proved intractable for Democratic and Republican administrations alike,” Harris whines. Note: President Donald Trump’s second administration has proved the issue is more than tractable. 

Harris spins securing the border as an utter impossibility. 

“No one around the president advocated, Give her something she can win with.”

What would that be? Third grade math? Slurring her words during interviews?

Harris claims she was “castigated for, apparently, delivering [a speech] too well.” 

The Biden White House’s “thinking was zero-sum: If she’s shining, he’s dimmed. None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well. That given the concerns about his age, my visible success as his vice president was vital. It would serve as a testament to his judgment in choosing me and reassurance that if something happened, the country was in good hands. My success was important for him.” 

If Harris managed to speak with half the lucidity she mustered for this book, she might’ve had different presidential odds. 

Instead, Harris blames “a series of mistakes, committed over years, mostly by other people,” according to a review of the memoir from Semafor. 

“I didn’t have enough time,” she writes, according to The New York Times (NYT).

NJ Man Secures Nearly 1 Million Documents From Detroit’s 2020 Election, Including Copies of Absentee Ballots and Signed Envelopes in One of Largest Election FOIA Hauls In U.S. History

TICK TOCK…Detroit election officials and Michigan’s dirty Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson have officially been put on notice.

After years of being gaslighted by some of the most dishonest people in election history, The Gateway Pundit, along with some of the most respected election investigators in the state, are about to blow the lid off the lies about Detroit’s “secure” 2020 election that helped to give Joe Biden an inexplicable victory in the must-win state of Michigan.

On Election Night 2020, President Donald J. Trump appeared to hold commanding leads in key battleground states — approximately 100,000 votes in Wisconsin, 300,000 in Michigan, and 700,000 in Pennsylvania. For Joe Biden to erase those margins, his performance in the outstanding vote would have needed to be dramatically stronger, particularly in heavily Democratic strongholds such as Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.

As the night wore on, reports emerged — often inconsistent — that some precincts had stopped counting, sent workers home, or restarted tabulations under unclear circumstances. To this day, there is confusion and disagreement over the extent of these pauses and whether any state laws or procedures were ignored in the process. What cannot be disputed is that vote totals from Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania continued to change throughout the night, long after many Americans had gone to bed.

By the early morning hours of November 4, Wisconsin had flipped blue, followed soon after by the must-win state of Michigan. Days later, Georgia and Pennsylvania flipped for Biden as well. For many observers, the abrupt turnarounds — combined with conflicting reports of election-night disruptions — fueled deep skepticism about the integrity and transparency of the process.

Michigan lawmakers and election integrity investigators have spent an untold number of hours and resources to prove the election in Detroit was rigged. To date, they have not been able to secure the documents needed to verify what they believe happened that led to an inexplicable victory for Joe Biden in the presidential race.

The Biden FBI was worse than we knew

Americans paying attention have long known Biden’s Handlers weaponized the DOJ/FBI against Normal Americans. They’ve also known Joe Biden was their doddering, stumbling, little girl and woman groping, barely conscious mouthpiece. President Autopen was the man that very nearly wasn’t there.

The FBI surveilled and harassed parents who expressed their concerns about the political and sexual indoctrination of their children to local school boards. Likewise, were Catholics branded “radical traditional Catholics” surveilled. Then FBI Director Christopher Wray serially lied about that, claiming those tactics were confined to a single FBI field office and he immediately ended the practice, so shocked was he by such a political deviation. We now know multiple field offices were involved and among the practices that so alarmed easily alarmed FBI agents was Catholics enjoying the Latin Mass.

The FBI’s social media/Internet censorship efforts were vast, and Douglass Mackey was convicted over a joking Hillary Clinton meme. Normal Americans were certain that was only the tip of an oppressive iceberg that would have made Stalin proud. They had no idea.

The FBI’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election was far broader than previously known — encompassing 92 Republican organizations and individuals, newly released records show.

The “Arctic Frost” investigation into Trump targeted Republican groups, including the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, the Republican National Committee, and the Republican Attorneys General Association, according to records released by Senators Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R., Wisc.) Tuesday morning. Numerous pro-Trump political operatives were also placed under the scope of the Arctic Frost investigation, the records show.

The investigations which included subpoenas, warrants and all manner of overt and covert techniques, were part and parcel of Rogue prosecutor Jack Smith’s lawfare efforts against Donald Trump. It was an unprecedented effort to criminalize legitimate political expression and to ensure eternal, one-party, Democrat rule.

PA Governor Shapiro Says Kamala Harris ‘Is Going to Have to Answer’ for Covering Up Joe Biden’s Rapidly Declining Health

“Loyal” Kamala Harris, who hinted that Joe Biden was racist when she first threw her hat in the presidential race, slammed Biden in her new book and also discussed why she kept quiet about Joe’s obvious, rapidly declining health.

In an excerpt obtained by The Atlantic from her upcoming memoir, ‘107 Days,’ Harris calls Biden’s decision to run for a second term ‘reckless’ and says it should not have been “left to an individual’s ego” or “ambition.”

Writing about her decision not to try to convince Biden to drop out, Harris writes, “’It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness?”

“In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high.”

“This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”

He typical word salad was not enough for Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) who said Harris “is going to have to answer” for being honest with the American people and letting the public know about Biden’s fitness to serve in the White House again.

Shapiro joined Stephen A. Smith on Thursday.

Still Smarting from Total Defeat in the 2024 Presidental Election, Kamala Harris Can’t Stop Whining- Shares What Joe Biden Said to Rattle Her Just Before Crucial Trump Debate

The Gateway Pundit reported on “loyal” Kamala Harris’s upcoming memoir, ‘107 Days,’ and the blame she is spreading across the Democrat establishment for her resounding loss to President Donald Trump in 2024.

In an excerpt of the memoir obtained by The Atlantic, Harris calls Biden’s decision to run for a second term ‘reckless’ and says it should not have been “left to an individual’s ego” or “ambition.”

Writing about her decision not to try to convince Biden to drop out, Harris writes, “’It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized. Was it grace, or was it recklessness?”

“In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high.”

Now, in a newly revealed excerpt, Harris whines that Biden rattled her right before she went head-to-head with then-candidate Donald Trump on the debate stage.

According to the book, as Harris prepared for the high-stakes, and only debate of her campaign, Biden called to “wish her luck” but ended up scolding and rattling her instead.

Fox News reports:

The then-president said, “My brother called. He’s been talking to a group of real power brokers in Philly,” according to an excerpt of the book in The Guardian. He then allegedly asked if Harris was familiar with several people related to the matter, which she was not.

“His brother had told him that those guys were not going to support me because I’d been saying bad things about him. He wasn’t inclined to believe it, he claimed, but he thought I should know in case my team had been encouraging me to put daylight between the two of us,” Harris wrote in the book, according to an excerpt of the book in The Guardian.

Biden then went on to talk about his past debate performances, leaving Harris confused, “angry and disappointed,” according to The Guardian. She was upset that her boss had called before a critical moment in her political career and made “it all about himself.” Harris added that Biden was “distracting me with worry about hostile power-brokers in the biggest city of the most important state.”

Then-second gentleman Doug Emhoff apparently noticed his wife was in distress and advised her to “let it go” before facing off against Trump.

Biden’s Former Chief of Staff Admits What We All Knew About Joe

You must wonder how many more ‘Biden was braindead’ stories are going to drop. A lot has happened, not all good, over the past couple of weeks, but the investigation into Joe Biden’s use of the autopen, among other things, is still ongoing. We knew no one was in charge, but it’s become quite a shambolic unraveling in how this White House operated. For starters, it shouldn’t be a herculean effort for the Speaker of the House to get one-on-one time with the president. When it happened, Speaker Johnson said Biden couldn’t remember some executive orders he’d signed. 

Now, his former chief of staff, Jeff Zients, is admitting that Joe couldn’t remember names, struggled with dates, and needed extra meetings to make decisions. In short, the president was cooked and was perpetually on the struggle bus in the final year of his failed presidency (via Axios):

Joe Biden had difficulty remembering names and dates, and often required extra meetings to make decisions in the final years of his presidency, his former chief of staff Jeff Zients told congressional investigators Thursday, according to people familiar with Zients’ remarks.

Why it matters: Zients is one of the highest-ranking officials from the Biden White House to acknowledge that Biden’s age affected his abilities — even as the 81-year-old president was seeking another four years in the Oval Office. 

Driving the news: In a closed hearing, Zients told the GOP-led House Oversight Committee that over the course of the presidency Biden began asking for more meetings. 

Instead of having three meetings before making a decision, for example, Biden would want four.

Zients said Biden had long had trouble with names and dates, but acknowledged to investigators that the president’s memory of such facts got worse in the final years of his term. 

The intrigue: Zients also said that former First Lady Jill Biden spoke with him about managing Biden as Zients was preparing to take on the role of chief of staff in early 2023. 

So, why did Democrats want this guy to run again? We know why—it’s was the cling onto power. Here we have a man who flat-out cannot do the job, but Democrats were willing to drag him along until they couldn’t, especially after the nation saw that he was brain-dead when he got bulldozed by Donald Trump in CNN’s June debate last year. And yet, for years, we were told all was well and that the report filed by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden for mishandling classified information, was off-base and mean-spirited. Hur described Biden as an old man with memory problems. Hur was right. We were right. The Democrats were wrong. At least, some top aides are starting to talk, whereas most have clammed up when subpoenaed.

“We’re Done Discussing”: Biden Civil Rights Chair Clings to Power With Help From GOP Appointee

A Joe Biden appointee, with the help of fellow Democrat commissioners and one Republican-appointed commissioner, clung to power as chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, blocking a vote Friday on President Donald Trump’s designees to lead the commission.

In January, Trump designated two-decade veteran Republican commissioner Peter Kirsanow to be the new chairman of the Civil Rights Commission, replacing Rochelle Garza, who was appointed chair by Biden in 2023. Garza was the losing Democrat candidate for Texas attorney general in 2022.

The president also designated Commissioner Stephen Gilchrist to be the vice chair and named Carissa Mulder, a staffer for Kirsanow, to be the new staff director of the commission.

However, Garza has declined to step down as chair and didn’t allow a vote on a new chairman and vice chairman. While the president designates who among the commissioners he wants to lead the commission, the commissioners actually vote on the two positions.

The commission has eight members, split evenly among Republican and Democrat appointees. Four members are appointed by the president, two are appointed by the House, and two are appointed by the Senate. The commission was established in 1957 with the task of investigating and reporting on important civil rights issues.

At Friday’s meeting, Republican-appointed Commissioner J. Christian Adams moved to vote on all three Trump designees—Kirsanow, Gilchrist, and Mulder. He first moved to vote on Mulder.

“On Aug. 6, we received word that the president has nominated Carissa Mulder to be the staff director,” Adams said. “As everybody knows, there’s been a vacancy in this position all year long, since the inauguration.”

Garza cited procedural grounds to block Adams’ motion.

“We’re done discussing. I’ve already ruled the motion out of order,” Garza said. “The statute requires that the president request a concurrence from the commissioners, and our policies, our procedures, the statute requires a formal communication that indicates that.”

Adams responded that the White House did, in fact, notify the commission.

Vice Chair Victoria Nourse, also a Biden appointee, jumped in to say, “Everybody who’s on this commission knows it’s a first-year class that requires actual official notice, not just hearing through the grapevine.”

Adams, the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, took exception to the characterization, saying, “That isn’t what happened. Come on. There was a written notice.”

“If we want to pretend that we didn’t hear about it, let’s just keep pretending, and we’ll let consequences fall where we might,” Adams said.

Garza appeared to grow upset and replied, “That sounds very threatening.”

“It wasn’t a threat. It’s reality,” Adams said. “The president has designated a staff director. But you don’t even want to allow a vote.”

The three other Democrat appointees on the commission voted to support Garza’s ruling to not vote for Trump’s choice of Mulder for staff director. Gail Heriot—appointed to the commission by Senate Republican leadership—abstained.

Though appointed and reappointed by Republicans since 2007, Heriot is listed as an independent on the commission website.

Adams made another motion to add a vote for the chair and vice chair to the agenda. This time, Heriot went a step further and voted with Democrats to kill the motion.

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.
