Panicked Obama Warns Biden Handlers To Step Up 2024 Reelection Campaign, Operate Without Biden’s Approval
Former President Barack Obama has urged Joe Biden’s handlers to bolster his 2024 reelection campaign efforts as Donald Trump is poised to claim the GOP nomination.
Obama told Biden’s closest advisers that his campaign aides must be allowed to “make decisions” and “move aggressively” without waiting for the approval of the White House, according to the Washington Post.
“Obama grew ‘animated’ in discussing the 2024 election and former president Donald Trump’s potential return to power, one of the people said, and has suggested to Biden’s advisers that the campaign needs more top-level decision-makers at its headquarters in Wilmington, Del. — or it must empower the people already in place,” WaPo reported.

Obama also recently had a private lunch with Biden that was not previously disclosed, suggesting he bring on his past campaign advisers to mirror his successful 2012 reelection campaign by allowing them to operate across the country and not within the White House.
“That is a sharp contrast from Biden’s approach of leaving his closest aides at the White House even though they are involved in all the key decisions made by the campaign,” WaPo reported.
“Obama has not recommended specific individuals, but he has mentioned David Plouffe, who managed Obama’s 2008 race, as the type of senior strategist needed at the Biden campaign.”
Obama is reportedly worried about Trump’s “political strength” as he’s poised to claim the GOP nomination despite his multiple indictments and numerous ballot challenges which have yet to be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
Obama has long harbored worries about Trump’s political strength, telling Biden during a different private lunch last summer that Trump is a more formidable candidate than many Democrats realize. He cited Trump’s intensely loyal following, a Trump-friendly conservative media ecosystem and a polarized country as advantages for the former president in 2024.
Obama recently released a fundraising ad for Biden last week warning that “The other side won’t rest. So we can’t, either.”
“Our democracy depends on You,” Obama tells donors as Biden stands next to him. “We need your help to ensure Joe’s leadership continues to guide us forward.”
This comes weeks after reports surfaced that Obama was deeply concerned that Biden and Democrats could “very well could lose” to Trump in November in light of dismal polling.
Obama’s campaign adviser David Axelrod also suggested in Nov. 2023 that Biden should drop out of the 2024 presidential race in favor of a younger candidate.
“The greatest concern is that his biggest liability is the one thing he can’t change. Among all the unpredictables there is one thing that is sure: the age arrow only points in one direction,” he wrote on X.

Biden closed out 2023 with the lowest poll numbers of his presidency with a 38% approval rating, with critics citing the effects of his advanced age, his handling of Israel, and the economy.
Pathetic: MSNBC Host Mocked For Crying Over Jan. 6
An MSNBC host cried over January 6 in a cringe stunt during his live show and was ridiculed as a result.
Jonathan Capehart was talking with former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone on Saturday about his new book on the anniversary of the January 6 riot when he began blubbering.
“I’m going to try to get through this…erm…” stuttered Capehart as he appeared to wipe tears from his face.
Oh my God

This is your “media”, America
How pathetic pic.twitter.com/e5q5Wu1OUo
“Thank you for what you did three years ago today,” he added with a quivering voice.
Fanone awkwardly continued on, claiming the “insurrection” of Jan. 6 is still going on today within Trump’s America First movement.
“We are still in the midst of the same fight that began on January 6, 2021 and we have a lot at stake in this country and I think that it deserves every American’s attention,” he said.
Capehart’s theatrics were roundly mocked on social media.

What’s happening at the border right now is infinitely worse than J6.
The media doesn’t even report on the border invasion let alone cry about it.
Give me a break.

Watch: Toronto Police Deliver Coffees to Pro-Hamas Activists Blocking a Bridge
Footage from Toronto, Ontario shows police hand-delivering a box of hot Tim Horton’s coffee to Hamas supporters who were blocking a bridge near a Jewish neighborhood on Saturday.
Instead of arresting the pro-Hamas protesters who were blocking traffic, the Toronto police essentially became their errand boys.
“When the pro-Hamas activist is asked how he got coffees from the police, he said someone had bought them for him but police refused to allow them onto the bridge. So, in effect, the policeman became the DoorDash delivery man for these terrorist sympathizers,” the Right Scoop reported.

Toronto Police Service spokesperson Laura Brabant defended the department’s actions in now-deleted X posts, saying they were working to “de-escalate” the protests.
“Our officers are managing a dynamic situation. In performing a helpful act today, our officer’s motivation was to help keep tensions low and should not be interpreted as showing support for any cause or group. Our officers continue to work to de-escalate these demonstrations,” she wrote before deleting her entire account.

“Officers in Toronto are often publicly criticized for heavy handed tactics used during demonstrations. Today, given a very dynamic situation, officers continued to work to de-escalate these demonstrations and maintain calm and the public’s safety.”

Liberal MP Marco Mendicino, who represents the area where the protest took place, criticized the police serving refreshments to the anti-Israel demonstrators.
“Good intentions aside, police serving coffee and food to protestors will just embolden more deliberate obstruction of traffic, undermine public safety, and add to local frustrations. Laws exist to prevent this. They need to be enforced!” he wrote Saturday.

Fellow Liberal MP Anthony Housefather echoed Mendicino’s remarks, calling Toronto Police’s actions a “poor decision.”
“Police bringing food and coffee to demonstrators in the current context of the protests in Toronto was a very poor decision by @TorontoPolice. Unless the goal is to further undermine confidence in the way the force is handling the demonstrations.”

U.S. Attorney Suggests DOJ Will Expand Prosecution of J6 Protesters Who Did Not Enter Capitol
DC US Attorney Matthew Graves gave a speech on Friday suggesting the Department of Justice is preparing to prosecute more Americans for protesting outside the Capitol building on Jan 6.

From The Post Millennial:
Graves said, that protestors—if they were on restricted Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, and had not gone in the building—would have “committed a federal crime.”
“We have used our prosecutorial discretion to primarily focus on those who entered the building or those who engaged in violent or corrupt conduct on Capitol grounds,” Graves said in a press briefing on Jan. 4. He then suggested that others who went on the Capitol grounds themselves could be prosecuted.
Jack Posobiec posted online about his comments, saying, “He’s talking about the public lawn of the Capitol,” and then adding, “This is how insane these people are.”
Infowars host Owen Shroyer, who was prosecuted entirely for his speech outside the Capitol, reacted to Graves’ threats on X:
“I warned this was coming. My case was precedent setting,” Shroyer said. “Make no mistake, the message here is: If you’re a Trump supporter, or any right wing anti-establishment candidate, you have no 1st Amendment rights. You will be charged & incarcerated for speaking, reporting or protesting.”

“Since [Jan 6], more than 1,200 people have been charged for the assault on the Capitol,” Biden said. “Nearly 900 of them have been convicted or pled guilty. Collectively to date, they have been sentenced to more than 840 years in prison.”
California to Provide Free Sex Changes for Illegal Immigrants
As of last week, California’s taxpayer-funded healthcare system now covers sex changes for illegal immigrants, thanks to legislation recently signed by Governor Gavin Newsom. The cost of the program is expected to top $3 billion.
California became the first state in the US to provide health insurance to all adults regardless of immigration status on January 1, when legislation signed by Newsom last summer came into effect. Approximately 700,000 illegal immigrants will now have their healthcare covered by the state’s taxpayer-funded Medi-Cal insurance system, according to a press release from State Senator Maria Elena Durazo in May.
Among the procedures covered by Medi-Cal are hormone therapy and gender transition surgery, according to a report this week by the Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet.
“Gender affirming care is a covered Medi-Cal benefit when medically necessary,” a 2022 state memo cited by the outlet states. “Requests for gender affirming care should be from specialists experienced in providing culturally competent care to transgender and gender diverse individuals and should use nationally recognized guidelines.”
According to the Transgender Law Center, Medi-Cal should cover “hormone treatment, gender reassignment surgery, and other necessary procedures.”
Newsom’s expansion of the Medi-Cal program will cost California taxpayers an estimated $3.1 billion, according to an Associated Press report from last year. Republican lawmakers criticized the expansion even before it emerged that it would cover transgender surgery, but their criticism turned to ridicule in recent days.
“California is now paying for illegal aliens to get sex changes,” Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday. “There’s no punchline to this tweet. California is the punchline.”
Newsom has defended the decision to add 700,000 more patients to the program. “In California, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care coverage – regardless of income or immigration status,” his office told ABC News. “Through this expansion, we’re making sure families and communities across California are healthier, stronger, and able to get the care they need when they need it.”
Some 300,000 illegal immigrants were caught entering the US from Mexico in December 2023, the highest number on record for a single month. Under President Joe Biden’s controversial ‘Catch and Release’ policy, almost all of these migrants are released into the US with orders to show up at court hearings at a later date. Amid a backlog of more than two million cases, the average wait time for such a hearing stood at 762 days as of last January.
