David Hogg on Hidden Camera Slams Jill Biden’s “Chief of Staff”

We’re finding out all sorts of things about the Bidens that everyone suspected, but few would admit they were thinking about. But contrary to the assertions of CNN anchor Jake Tapper and his co-author Axios reporter Alex Thompson, we’re not “finding out” that Joe Biden was senile the whole time. 

Everyone knew it, including Tapper, which makes his new “tell-all” book about the “cover-up” especially ridiculous. Tapper and Thompson’s book certainly does disclose details about the Biden machine, and they’re interesting as far as they go. According to the book, the former President’s inner circle tried to keep the senile Biden out of situations where his mental incapacity would be obvious, even curtailing his contact with staff he would have been working with everyday under normal circumstances. 

But how are we to take seriously a couple of reporters who were neck deep in propping up the myth of a competent Biden who now want to make money from a book “exposing” what they themselves were doing? Tapper tried manfully to defend himself, with limited success, on former Fox anchor Megyn Kelly’s podcast recently. But she had him dead to rights, playing a clip from 2020 in which Tapper mocked and tried to humiliate Lara Trump for suggesting that Joe Biden had any age-related cognitive problems. 

It’s not just Joe Biden we’re finding out about. Again, as almost everyone suspected, Biden’s wife, Jill, had an inordinate amount of power for a first lady. Did you know she had her own “chief of staff?” Is that something presidential wives have always had? Either way, hers was a man named Alex Bernal, and the muckrakers at Project Veritas just caught recently deposed Democratic National Committee co-chair David Hogg admitting that people thought of Bernal as a holy terror. 

Check out this hidden camera footage from Project Veritas posted by LibsofTikTok. 

According to Hogg, the main power broker around the president was Alex Bernal, Jill Biden’s “chief of staff.” Hogg said he had “an enormous amount of power.”

Ex-Biden staffer Deterrian Jones was also captured on video, saying: “That was like an open secret. I would avoid him, he was scary. Anthony Bernal. He’s like a shadowy Wizard of Oz-type figure. The general public wouldn’t know how this man looked, but he wielded an enormous amount of power. I can’t stress to you enough how much power he had at the White House.”

Let’s see if Twitter/X users are surprised:

Nope. But some people are questioning the veracity of the hidden camera.

Trump Threatens CA School Money Over Boy Sweeping Girls’ Track Team Records

We’re over the honeymoon period after the presidential election of 2024. Donald Trump has been in office five months, and the fight to get woke out of our society is just in the opening stages. He blazed through his first 100 days signing executive orders (up to 152 as of this writing) on everything from tariffs to transgenderism. 

It’s that latter topic that looks likely to be the hardest problem to solve. Some conservatives are complaining about how Congress hasn’t managed to codify any of Trump’s EOs into law yet. Republicans have a long track record of getting into power and then refusing to use any of it, so this is no surprise. But if lawmakers won’t take serious statutory action to stop men and boys from dominating girls’ sports, it’s hard to see how the unfair practice will stop. 

It’s baffling. Of all the policy positions of the left, the idea that there are “transgender” people who “change sex” and that children can and should do it as well is so far outside of sanity one would expect that almost no one would support it. But behold the left–they’re fighting tooth and nail to make sure the lunacy never ends, and they’re doing it at the expense of America’s children. Polls show that not even Democrat voters favor allowing so called “trans girls” (i.e., boys) to compete against actual schoolgirls, yet Democrat lawmakers snarl and shriek about “protecting transgender rights.”

Trump is about to call California’s bluff over a young man who calls himself “AB Hernandez.” The high school junior wears his hair long, dresses in women’s clothes, and tells other people that he’s female. This entitles him, he and his parents must believe, to enter and take over any female sports team he likes. He’s been sweeping the girls’ leaderboards, and Trump has had enough. The president has threatened to shut off California’s federal money if they allow this to continue in defiance of his executive order instructing schools to keep boys out of girls’ sports or lose their federal grants.

Let’s take the public’s temperature by looking at the comment responses. 

This is a good question. 

Nearly everyone sees the fundamental injustice:

Immigration, Race, Race Baiting

American Liberals Mock White South African Refugees

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” – except if you’re white and from South Africa.

That’s the message from a large number of white Americans, liberal white Americans. You know, the only demographic in human history that actually hates itself and pushes its own kind in front of hostile people from other racial demographics in order to appear to be a good person. 

The Trump administration is now accepting white refugee families from South Africa. Yes, you read that right. “White refugee families.” It is in fact possible for white people to be from Africa, and also to be refugees. Since the Civil Rights era in the 60s, most white Americans have come to the strange conclusion that white people, and only white people, can never be victims of anything even when they truly are victims. 

Why do white families need to get out of South Africa? Because, since the end of racial apartheid, black political hatred for white people has gone out of control. The SA government recently passed a law allowing the state to seize land from white farmers to give to black farmers, and with no compensation. This is in the interest of social justice, of course. 

White people are murdered by blacks at an extraordinary rate, and that kind of murder is now socially and politically acceptable in South Africa. Julius Malema, leader of the National Assembly of South Africa, has led stadiums full of crowds in musical chants about killing white farmers. “Kill the Boer,” they chant, using the historic name for the white Dutch settlers who came to the continent hundreds of years ago. 

What do American Democrats do when they see these families coming to the United States? They make fun of them, they claim they “don’t look like refugees.” It’s simply a fact: American liberals and Democrats really do hate white people, they really do hate them in a racist way, and they don’t even feel any pressure to hide that fact. The Episcopal Church, for example, just decided to stop all help in refugee resettlement if that means they would have to help white South African people. 

CNN’s token conservative Scott Jennings does yeoman’s work pushing back on panels stacked with Democrats (mainly racist black Americans). Check out this exchange he had with Ashley Allison, who worked for the Biden campaign in 2020. Ashley says the whites can “go back to Germany,” apparently unclear on the fact that they’re not from Germany, but from South Africa. And their ancestors were from Holland, not Deutschland. “The people who are native to that land deserve their land back,” she said. Reminder: the white people living in South Africa are native to South Africa. 

Let’s see what Twitter/X users had to say. It’s not going well for Ashley. 

But it’s not just “incompetence” or ignorance. It’s moral malice against white people.

Dem. Hakeem Jeffries Claims It’s Trump, Not Biden, Mentally Unfit

If  you’re of a certain age, you remember how president Gerald Ford became the butt of national jokes for falling on a staircase. During a trip to Austria, Ford got to the bottom of the stairs exiting the airplane and tripped, falling down the last few steps. Everyone from Saturday Night Live on down to local bar comics mocked him for looking like a slapstick character out of a silent picture. 

Had that been Joe Biden (and it was, during Biden’s presidency), and had the year been 2020-2024, there would have been no joking in the national press or entertainment outlets. Even noticing that Biden fell  by pointing out the images on the videotape would have attracted screaming denunciations. He didn’t fall, they’d claim, he “merely stumbled.” And anyway, you noticing that he fell makes you a Nazi and it probably makes you insane. Have you spoken to your doctor about your mental state? 

That’s no exaggeration. We’ve been living in Opposite Land for years in the United States, but most acutely during the Biden presidency from 2020 through 2024. Recently the White House Correspondents’ Association held its annual dinner wherein it celebrated itself, and bestowed an award on an Axios reporter for his allegedly brave coverage (after the fact) of Joe Biden’s obvious senility. The reporter, Alex Thompson, said that he and the press “missed” the big story, and that the press had been misled. 

No one “missed” the obvious fact of Joseph R. Biden’s senility. No one. Every single person saw it live on TV, starting before 2020. No, it didn’t “become apparent” in his last year of the presidency. It was obvious before his term began. Biden lost the plot of conversations, stared into the distance, fell asleep during meetings, and forgot who among his staff and colleagues was alive or dead. 

But since that is an unflattering fact for the Democrats, they denied it with fury during Biden’s term, and accused people who noticed the problem of themselves being insane or mentally unwell, if not actually evil. It was utterly remarkable to witness. 

The reversal of the truth is the most common tactic used by the left today. They either deny reality outright, or they turn around and accuse those who notice reality of being unstable or delusional. Then, they turn around and accuse the other side of doing exactly the thing the Democrat side is actually doing. 

Democrat Rep. from New York Hakeem Jeffries is doing it right now. Jeffries, the House Minority Leader,  is claiming it is Trump, not former president Biden, who is mentally unfit for office. Folks, you have to see and hear it to believe it. Here’s Booker on the MeidasTouch podcast:

“Donald Trump spent the last year and a half questioning the cognitive ability of President Joe Biden not withstanding many of the legislative accomplishments that Donald Trump can only wish he got over the finish line,” Jeffries said. 

He then says many people around him are asking whether President Trump is fit to “carry out the duties” of his office. It’s just a simple reversal. 

Naturally, Biden was among those publicly denying Biden’s senility.

Here are some of the responses on X:

It’s not going in Jeffries’ favor. 

Ouch. They’re calling him a Dollar General Barack Obama.

Liberal Single Mother Baffled by Church Attendance; Knows Jesus Loves Her Best

One thing about the 21st century: we’re discovering all sorts of brand new things, aren’t we? Here’s some new “The Science” that we’ve “learned” in this quarter of a century:

-Men can become women

-Women can become men

-Sex isn’t actually real anyway; it’s all just words and feelings

-Selling babies and deliberately depriving them of their natural mother and father is good, is a blessing, and is “humanitarian.” We call it “surrogacy.”

-Morbid obesity is incredibly arousing, and more men prefer morbidly obese women to those with normal body weights. 

-There was never any such thing as a lazy, shiftless, or lunatic bum; these were all just “unhoused” people who never did anything wrong, it’s just that the house fairy didn’t leave them a cottage under their pillow.

-Unnatural hair colors like green, blue, and pastel pink are far more attractive to potential mates than naturally occurring colors

You may notice something odd about this new “Science.” It’s the opposite of the obvious truth. The social mores and values of the 21st century—and all of these are leftist ideas—are just forms of reversal. Call black white, call light dark, call bitter sweet. Truth reversals are the favorite tool of people with narcissistic and manipulative personalities. They’re also very attractive to gullible people who mean well, but who are in thrall to manipulators. 

Reversing the truth, acting selfishly and with contempt for others simply because they don’t agree with you, has become normalized behavior in the 21st century West. It’s most acute among liberal women. The video below is typical of the genre: 30-something  single woman, liberal, with an attitude and put-on voice-creak to match. 

Check out this lovely lady instructing viewers on how much Jesus loves her because she had children out of wedlock. That’s right. In her own words, “Jesus loves me so much that I bought a three-bedroom house as a single mother of three.” It’s unclear whether by “Jesus” she meant “child support from my ex plus welfare.”

She’s upset and baffled by why American Christians attend church. We do apologize for the grating quality of the voice you’re going to have to listen to:

Let’s see what other social media citizens had to say:

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: Why Did the U.S. Deport an Illegal Gang Member?

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins does not like conservatives, Republicans, or Donald Trump. Note one bit. Collins has difficulty presenting any stories featuring Trump without telegraphing her disdain through irrelevant, needling questions, and sour looks on her face while in the anchor chair. 

The two got a chance to face each other in person during a meeting Trump held in the Oval Office, before the press, with El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele. Bukele is known for his tough on crime stance; he launched a hard crackdown on drug gangs on other criminals in 2020 which sent the crime rate in his country plummeting. The contrast with the then-Biden administration’s weakness—many would call it encouragement—toward lawlessness could not have been starker. While violent crimes like murders decreased in 2023, that was compared to a surge during 2021 that Democrats would like to attribute to “the pandemic,” but that tracks with the administration’s turning a blind eye to lawlessness like the BLM riots in 2020 that resulted in dozens of deaths and $2 billion in property damage. 

Trump and Bukele have been working together to deal with violent gang members who illegally jump the U.S. border. The deal between the U.S. and El Salvador allows the U.S. to ship these criminals to El Salvador where they’ll go to prison, in exchange for American money. 

What’s got many Americans riled is the news that an illegal alien deported from the U.S. to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia, who a court ruled was improperly deported. The judge ordered the U.S. to “facilitate” Garcia’s return. Countering this, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Garcia is an illegal alien whom immigration courts had already determined was a member of the international MS-13 gang.

That’s what the oval office fight was about. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked the president what he was going to do about getting Abrego Garcia out of a Salvadoran prison. Trump advisor Stephen Miller said the U.S. could not tell El Salvador what to do with a non-U.S. citizen in his country’s custody. Miller called the very idea “arrogant,” and dressed down Collins and the U.S. media. 

Prolific X user Collin Rugg has video of the exchange:

Miller reiterated that Garcia was illegally in the U.S., and that he’s a known member of a violent international gang. Collins kept pressing, asking if the administration “was saying” that it wouldn’t ask for Garcia’s return. He noted that a recent Supreme Court decision allowed the U.S. to deport Garcia again, in the future, if El Salvador, “in its sole discretion,” returned the man to the U.S. Spoiler: El Salvador is not going to do that.

Collins seemed to have trouble understanding that the U.S. can’t demand that El Salvador return its own citizen. It is unclear why she and other members of the left would want a Salvadoran gang member back in America. 

The response from X users was pretty unanimous, with most people saying that Collins lost this one badly. 

Race, Race Baiting

Family of Confessed Stabber Karmelo Anthony Says He’s the Real Victim

The most effective kind of lying is the “reversal.” It’s what it sounds like. You simply reverse truth and falsehood, and do it with bravado. Sadly, it almost always works, especially if the lie is delivered with dramatic emotion. 

Say you collide with someone’s car in a grocery parking lot with your cart, putting a huge dent in the car while the person was backing out of a parking. You, with your cart, didn’t bother to look before you walked behind the car, which was backing out slowly and responsibly. But you don’t want to be blamed, and you want to make onlookers believe the driver did something to you, rather than the other way around. So you start yelling or crying, and saying “She backed out too fast and didn’t even look! She could have killed me!”

Chances are in America in 2025, that ploy would work. We are conditioned to believe melodramatic claims of victimhood, because we’re all afraid of being accused of being “bigoted” or “insensitive.” This tendency blinds us to obvious lies from people who caused their own sorry situation but want to blame it on an innocent party. 

It scales all the way up to alleged murder. You’ve seen the coverage of the killing of 17-year-old white high school student Austin Metcalf. According to what we know so far, Metcalf told a black teen, Karmelo Anthony, that he was seated in the wrong spot at the the track meet they were attending. Though media reports conflict, it appears that Metcalf may have tried to move Anthony’s gear bag. 

So, naturally, Karmelo Anthony took out the big knife he had purposefully brought to the track meet and plunged it into Metcalf’s heart, killing him. Everyone knows what’s probably going on, but few want to say it. Young black men, statistically, are extraordinarily violent and likely to fly off the handle if anyone “disses” them. Being “dissed” includes being asked to move, or being told, even in the smallest way, that you’re doing something you’re not supposed to do. 

Almost unbelievably, the family of alleged murderer Karmelo Anthony (and he admitted to cops on scene that he stabbed Austin Metcalf) is claiming that he, the knife wielder, is the actual victim. Not only that, but the family has set up online fundraisers for Anthony. You have to see it to believe it. 

Commentator Matt Walsh pointed it out on X:

This is the second fundraiser by the Anthony family, since they were kicked off the platform GoFundMe. Here’s what their original fundraiser said. Does this sound like a family that cares even a little bit that their son just killed a 17-year-old?

As of this writing, the family of the confessed killer has raised  almost $170,000. Let’s see what X users had to say. 

Frustratingly but not shockingly, there are tons of people, black and white, who think the killer is actually the victim.

Charlie Kirk Unconvinced Man in Baby Doll Dress is Actually a Woman

Imagine if you will a future in which our descendants still have something like history books. This is not a foregone conclusion, so don’t get over-confident. It’s very plausible, even likely, that those who come after us will not have anything analogous to what we call “history books.” What we mean by that is something like, “An accurate written record of past events that cannot be digitally changed on the sly.”

Look what’s happened already to the concept of the encyclopedia. Thirty years ago, people still bought bound and printed volumes. The printed words on those pages are the same today as the day the books were printed. Not so the online Wikipedia. After the initial infatuation with the gee-whiz technical advancement of an always-updated-online-encyclopedia wore off, we saw what was really going on. Taken over by hard-left ideologues, Wikipedia regularly edits or deletes entries that tell facts about the real world if those facts make the Wikipedia editors and staff have sad feelings. 

That’s why we have to imagine a future where some form of un-editable historical record is still available. So let’s assume that it will be. What will people think when they look back on the approximately 10-year period (2015 to 2025) when the West lost its mind and stopped believing in the reality of male and female sex? When formerly normal people believed the claim that there are “transgender children” who were “born in the wrong body” and who “need” mutilating “sex-change” surgeries? 

Unless our future selves are too far gone, they’re going to react with horror and laughter. They might react that way to this display, a conversation between conservative commentator Charlie Kirk and a fat, unkempt man in a baby doll costume and a beard telling Charlie that he is a “woman.”

Listen to that man. Look at him, take it in, and then listen to what he says. 

He insists to Charlie Kirk that it’s merely “common courtesy” to refer to lunatic, ugly men in female fetishwear as if they were actual, real women. It’s extraordinary. This is the kind of thing no human has ever heard spoken by another outside a mental institution until this current era. 

Onlookers frequently say something like “bring back insane asylums” with a slightly humorous air. But there’s nothing to laugh about. This behavior is, quite literally, exactly what lunatic asylums were made for. That is, in actual fact, where people like this belong. 

Let’s see how X/Twitter users reacted. 

So far there aren’t many takers for the idea of living in permanent Backwards Day. 

Oh, dear.

Canadian Father “Billboard Chris” Arrested By Australian Police for Sign Against Child Abuse

We’ve long used the phrase “through the looking glass” to describe times when people or whole societies seem to lose their rational minds. But what we’re seeing today, in 2025, is far more bizarre and disturbing than any other social hysteria any of us have seen in living memory. We’re not just through the looking glass, we’re through it, and someone shattered it behind us. It may not be possible to get back. 

On March 26, a Canadian father named Chris Elston was arrested by Australian police in a mall. Known online as “Billboard Chris,” Elston has been on a one-man crusade to educate the public on the horrific child abuse that we call “gender-affirming care” for so-called “transgender kids.” It’s crazy enough that any sane adult believes there are actually children who need sex changes, but what’s worse is that most people don’t know what this “affirming care” actually is. 

Giving “puberty blockers” to kids doesn’t just “pause” puberty. It causes permanent damage, bone density loss, and more. Then, when the kid goes on to take hormones designed for the opposite sex, the child is permanently sterlized. For life. They will never have children. They won’t even be able to have an orgasm. Ever. And all that is before the poor child is surgically mutilated to remove breasts or genitals. 

Why was Elston arrested? For standing in a mall, silently, wearing a sign that reads, “children cannot consent to puberty blockers.” Remember that all government institutions in Western countries are completely captured by transgender ideology. They’re quite literally religious zealots who would see people like Elston actually burned at the stake (yes, I mean executed) if they could get away with it. 

Elston’s X/Twitter account describes what happened:

From the account:

“A Canadian father who campaigns against irreversible gender dysphoria treatments for children has been fined and arrested in Brisbane, in what has been described as a “worrying attack on freedom of expression”.

Chris Elston – better known online as Billboard Chris – was standing in Queen Street Mall with a sign stating “children cannot consent to puberty blockers” when he was approached by a Brisbane City Council worker who accused him of obstructing people’s movement.

The council worker went on to issue Mr Elston with an $806 fine for “obstructing or unreasonably disturbing any person lawfully using a mall”, a claim the activist calmly insisted was untrue.”

Here’s where it gets truly chilling. In Australia, puberty blockers and similar treatments are banned by law for children. The police arrested Elston for criticizing a form of child abuse that Australian law itself makes illegal!

Here’s a sample of the online reaction: 

What do citizens of Western countries do when their own government and police are targeting them and their children?

“Muh ‘Bortions!” Dems Freak Out As Trump Stops $120 Million from Going to Planned Parenthood

It’s got to be tough to be a Democrat in 2025 with all the conservative wins they have to face every single day. The Trump administration has been a high-speed steam roller taking down the de facto “laws” that Democrats have magicked into being against common sense, actual law, and the public’s will. 

Joe Biden redefined the meanings of the term “sex” in the landmark law called Title IX that was passed in the early 70s to give women and girls the same academic and sporting opportunities as men and boys. In a mirror-reversal, the Biden administration forced schools to allow boys (they call them “trans girls”) to play on girls’ sports teams or risk federal punishment. Trump overturned that. 

Biden and Democrats claimed that they “could not” slow the influx of illegal aliens without Congress giving them new legislation. That wasn’t true; they just didn’t want to close the border. Trump proved it by installing an aggressive border czar, Tom Homan. All without any new laws, illegal immigration is down by about 90 percent over where it was under Biden. Even liberal Axios has to admit this, as much as it pains them. 

Cue new leftist hysteria about their most sacred ritual, abortion. 

As part of an investigation into whether Planned Parenthood has used federal money to pay for now-illegal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, the White House announced on March 25 that it would “pause” $120 million in taxpayer dollars that were set to go to what the leftist press euphemistically calls the country’s largest “family planning” organization.

The New Republic, like all other mainstream (which means: leftist) media pretends that it doesn’t understand that money is fungible:

“Conservatives have long fought to defund Planned Parenthood due to its abortion advocacy, despite no federal funds being used for the health procedure given that federal law already prohibits taxpayer funds from going to abortions,” the magazine wrote. 

Let’s take a look at leftist Twitter and see who’s gnashing their teeth. “Saddy mayonnaise,” who appears to be an AWFL (affluent white female liberal), is pretending that libs don’t want the funding for abortion. Nope, it’s mean old Donald Trump trying to stop women from getting non-abortion health care:

Feminized girl-man Brian Krassenstein is using the same line:

What’s interesting, though, is you have to actually hunt through X/Twitter to find people objecting to Trump’s move. The mood on that platform is distinctly in favor of cutting off taxpayer money to what most call an “abortion mill.”
