Breaking: House Votes to Hold AG Merrick Garland in Contempt Over Biden Audio
The Republican-controlled House in a 216-207 vote Wednesday held Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt over his refusal to turn over Joe Biden’s audio taped interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
One Republican, Rep. David Joyce (Ohio), joined all Democrats in voting no.

Republicans had demanded the audio after Hur declined to prosecute Biden, in part because a jury may sympathize with him as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
The Biden White House then exerted executive privilege to block the release of the audio recordings, claiming they should not be made public because they could be manipulated by politically motivated Republicans.
But experts claimed that because the interview transcripts were already publicly available, the argument that the tapes could be doctored didn’t hold up.
“The argument ignores that, if an audiotape is released, it is harder to pass off a fake as genuine,” noted law professor Jonathan Turley. “As it stands, actors can claim tapes as leaked or derived from other sources. In the absence of an official tape, such arguments can be difficult to refute.”
Garland blasted the House’s contempt vote as a “partisan weapon” in a statement Wednesday.
“It is deeply disappointing that this House of Representatives has turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon,” Garland said. “Today’s vote disregards the constitutional separation of powers, the Justice Department’s need to protect its investigations, and the substantial amount of information we have provided to the Committees.”
“I will always stand up for this Department, its employees, and its vital mission to defend our democracy,” he added.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) issued a statement arguing, “It is up to Congress — not the Executive Branch — to determine what materials it needs to conduct its own investigations, and there are consequences for refusing to comply with lawful Congressional subpoenas.”
“Congress has a responsibility to conduct oversight of the Special Counsel’s work and specifically Special Counsel Hur’s determination not to prosecute President Biden for the clear violation of the law.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) also issued a statement following the vote, questioning the Biden administration’s motive to withhold the audio.
“Attorney General Merrick Garland’s refusal to produce the audio recordings of Special Counsel Hur’s interview with President Biden still begs the question: what is the Biden administration trying to hide?” Comer stated. “Their decision to keep the audio recordings behind lock and key establishes a clear pattern of obstruction by this Justice Department in an effort to run cover for President Joe Biden.”

House Republicans rightfully held AG Garland accountable today for his failure to comply with lawful subpoenas.
Congress cannot serve as a necessary check on the presidency if the executive branch is free to defy duly authorized, legal subpoenas.

“This is unacceptable and the House of Representatives is now in a better position to deliver the transparency and accountability the American people demand and deserve,” he added.
Garland isn’t the first attorney general to be held in contempt by a House controlled by the opposing party.
The House voted to hold Trump’s attorney general William Barr in contempt of Congress in 2019.
Add it held Barack Obama’s AG Eric Holder in contempt in 2012 over his refusal to disclose documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-running probe.
Neither were prosecuted.
Watch: Kevin Spacey Discusses Clinton Foundation Trip on Epstein’s Lolita Express with ‘Young Girls’
Actor Kevin Spacey addressed flights on Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious Lolita Express private jet, saying he only did so after being an invited guest of the Clinton Foundation.
Appearing on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” this week, Spacey explained he’d been invited by the Clinton Foundation to join a humanitarian aid trip to South Africa raising awareness on AIDS and HIV.
“In 2015, I started seeing reports online, things on my Twitter account that I had flown to this guy Jeffrey Epstein’s island and I had abused young girls,” Spacey recounted, going on to claim at the time he didn’t know who Epstein was.
Kevin Spacey admits that there were young girls on the Jeffrey Epstein flights he was on and that he feared them being on the plane might damage Bill Clinton in the future.

“Well, of course, I have since learned who he is. And I have since been able to go back and find out that the airplane that we flew on for this humanitarian mission was owned by Jeffrey Epstein and to then learn, ‘Oh, he was actually on some of those flights,’” adding Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was also there.
“I didn’t know him. I’ve never spent any time with him. I was with the Clinton Foundation people. That’s who I was with,” the Academy Award-winning actor went on to claim.
Spacey went on to address a photo showing him and Maxwell laughing while sitting on thrones at Buckingham Palace.
“Yeah…I really didn’t know Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell”

“This Maxwell woman, she was one of many people that sat down next to me in that throne room. I have no relationship with her. I had no relationship with him. I mean, he’s not my friend. I’m not a confidant. I’ve never spent time with him.”
Maxwell was convicted in Dec. 2021 on charges she recruited and groomed teenage girls for Epstein, her boss, to sexually abuse.
After initially claiming he didn’t know who Epstein was, Spacey went on to reveal he “didn’t want to be around this guy because I felt he put the president at risk on that trip to South Africa because there were these young girls,” on the flights. “And we were like, who is this guy?”
“Young girls on those flights?” Morgan followed up.
“There were young girls on those flights, yeah,” Spacey responded.
Spacey went on to say he paid more attention to the main mission of the trip, rather than to whether he visited Epstein island.
“There’s a big difference between not remembering that I met some guy and some woman on a humanitarian trip where my focus was entirely on what we were there to do, and not remembering whether I went to somebody’s island,” he said.
In the past, it’s been reported flight logs show former Democrat President Bill Clinton took at least 26 flights on Epstein’s “Lolita Express.”
Perhaps the actor’s sketchy story will reignite calls for the Biden administration to release lists of Epstein associates, the flight logs showing who flew on the plane, and visitors to Epstein’s island.

On the other hand, Trump has vowed to release the Epstein files if re-elected for a second term, in addition to declassifying files on 9/11 and the JFK assassination.

Chinese Central Bank Halts Gold Acquisitions
China has called quits on its 18-month gold buying spree, causing precious metal prices to stumble this week as the world’s largest buyer unexpectedly closes its tab.
In 2023, the People’s Bank of China purchased more gold than any of the world’s other central banks, swelling its reserves of the precious metal to more than 2,000 tons to break free from the U.S. dollar standard. Chinese consumers have been following suit, amassing gold coins, bars, and jewelry as Chinese stocks, currency, and real estate have succumbed to economic volatility and plunging value.
“China is unquestionably driving the price of gold,” said Ross Norman, chief executive of MetalsDaily.com, told The New York Times last month. “The flow of gold to China has gone from solid to an absolute torrent.”
Now, data from last month indicates the PBC’s shopping spree is over–at least temporarily. The policy switch-up caught many investors by surprise late last week, but experts say there’s precedent for such a change.
“PBC has never been a constant buyer,” Carsten Menke, an analyst at Julius Baer, told Reuters. “There have been distinct phases of buying followed by multi-month breaks.”
This time, the slowdown may be caused by the record prices China’s policies have helped to fuel. Any temporary reduction in purchases from the world’s largest gold importer will ease pressure on supply chains, causing prices to drift downward as gold becomes more readily accessible. Once prices fall, the bank could resume buying at more favorable rates until prices soar again.
But that’s not all. If China can convince gold buyers that it won’t resume its previous purchasing policy, the downward price pressure could be augmented by fears of a slow market recovery. It’s a profitable strategy for a bank looking to take advantage of skittish investors, and it could explain why Chinese analysts and officials have provided no comment on the change so far, letting panic and secrecy work their magic.
If that’s the goal, it looks like things are going to plan. According to Blue Line futures’ chief market strategist Phillip Streible, the sell-off that triggered gold’s price drop is excessive over fundamentals. That creates an opportunity for “bargain hunters [who] are surfacing at this lower price point,” he told Reuters–possibly including the PBC itself.
“A desire to reduce exposure to dollar-denominated assets is not a new theme when it comes to China’s reserve management in recent years,” Metals Focus analysts wrote in a recent report. Though not exclusive to China, the analysts concluded: “If anything, the upcoming 2024 US presidential election may result in additional geopolitical instability. Against this backdrop, interest in adding gold reserves is likely to remain high for the rest of the year.”
It’s unlikely that China is withdrawing from the metals market, though its focus may have temporarily shifted. Amid global fears of a copper shortage, Chinese stockpiles of the base metal have puzzled investors by expanding when they should be contracting. Speculation of production cuts among Chinese companies is driving prices still higher outside the country, opening another possibility to profit from metals purchases in the wake of Chinese stockpiling and efforts to remain aloof from the greenback standard.
Even if Chinese gold purchases dry up for longer than expected or are cut off altogether, there’s still good news for precious metal investors looking to capitalize on steadily rising prices. Counteracting the reduced demand are concerns about a reduced supply, following a report from the World Gold Council that precious metal deposits are growing harder to find.
“I think the overwhelming story there is: after 10 years of rapid growth from around 2008, the mining industry is struggling to report sustained growth in production,” John Reade, WGC’s chief market strategist, told NBC. “It’s getting harder to find gold, permit it, finance it, and operate it.”
Despite the startlingly optimistic U.S. payroll report, another factor behind gold’s brief stumble this week, investor concerns about the new inflation report and Fed policy announcement are pushing investors to hedge their bets. The convergence of changes in both domestic and international policy will bring new upheavals–and new profit opportunities–in metals markets this week.

Star Wars ‘The Acolyte’ Mocked For Featuring Lesbian Space Witches Who Use The Force to Get Pregnant
Disney’s Star Wars “The Acolyte” was roundly mocked on social media over a scene featuring lesbian space witch covens using the Force to get pregnant.
Disney head Kathleen Kennedy and showrunner Leslye Headland were singularly blamed for destroying the Star Wars franchise after a scene circulating on social media showed a group of witches performing an occult ritual praising the “power of one, the power of two” and “the power of many.”

In Star Wars lore, microscopic organisms called midichlorians found in one’s blood give the ability to wield the Force, a high concentration of which was found in Anakin Skywalker, the boy who would later become Darth Vader, who was revealed to have been immaculately conceived on the desert planet Tatooine.
But “The Acolyte”, which takes place 100 years before the events of Episode I, reveals that Anakin Skywalker was not the only one immaculately conceived in the Star Wars universe.
“The Acolyte” twins Osha and Mae learn that they were “created” by the head of the witches coven and “carried” by another woman within the group thanks to the power of the Force.
The Acolyte’s ridiculous occult witches scene was brutally panned on X.
“This doesn’t look like Star Wars. It looks like a bunch of Leftists putting a blood curse on Donald Trump,” one user noted.

Showrunner Headland last week bragged that “The Acolyte” would be the “gayest Star Wars yet by a considerable margin” without a hint of irony.
“People have told me that it’s the gayest Star Wars,” Headland said, “and frankly I am into it.”

South Park earlier this year ridiculed Kennedy after she took control of Lucasfilm and inserted woke identity politics into Disney, Star Wars and Marvel movies.
Animation series South Park nailed it when they did a show on Disney and the panderverse. Kathleen Kennedy, like many others, is pandering to 7% of people thinking they will boost profits when, in reality, they are destroying their franchise.
