Biden's other dog has been biting Secret Service agents, too.

Joe Biden coincidentally raises a lot of damaged children and pets, huh?

It was once said that there are no such things as bad dogs, only bad owners. That sentiment could help explain why President Joe Biden's dogs can't stop biting people.

On Tuesday, The New York Post reported that Biden's dog "Commander" went on a chomping spree and bit seven people in the four-month period from September 2022 to January 2023. In one ghastly situation, Commander reportedly sent a Secret Service agent to the hospital. Commander, of course, was the dog that the Bidens brought in as the replacement dog for "Major," who was also known for sinking his fangs into members of Biden's staff.

The report, compiled with information from Judicial Watch, offers a damning glimpse into the sort of people that the Bidens are.

"These shocking records raise fundamental questions about President Biden and the Secret Service," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said to The Post.

"This is a special sort of craziness and corruption where a president would allow his dog to repeatedly attack and bite Secret Service and White House personnel. And rather than protect its agents, the Secret Service tried to illegally hide documents about the abuse of its agents and officers by the Biden family," he added.

According to records, one Secret Service agent commented, "What a joke ... if it wasn't their dog he would already have been put down -- freaking clown needs a muzzle," after his colleague was bitten on the arm and leg.

...

Mike Davis of The Article Three Project aptly summarized the current state of Biden's White House:

"1. 53-year-old loser son and foreign-corruption bagman is frequent overnight guest 2. But refuse to acknowledge 4-year-old granddaughter 3. Allow untrained dogs to repeatedly attack federal workers," he tweeted.

"The Bidens are trash," he said bluntly.

Imagine being a Secret Service agent.

You get bitten by Biden's dog and he publicly denies it. Then his son loses a bag of coke in the WH, and he orders you to pretend you're so incompetent that you can't figure out whose it is. Then he gets a new dog and that one bites you too.

The conditions for Hunter Biden's pre-trial release include, lol, him finding a real job, and staying off drugs.

Judge Noreika ordered Hunter to:

Continue or actively seek employment

Communicate in writing all international travel plans and provide supporting documentation

Not possess a firearm, destructive device, or other weapon.

Not use alcohol at all,

Not use or unlawfully possess a narcotic drug or other controlled substances defined in 21 U.S.C. sec. 802, unless prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner.

Submit to testing for a prohibited substance if required by the pretrial services office or supervising officer.

Spoiler: No one will ask him to do that. Certainly they won't ask him to get tested for coke, given the bag of coke found in the White House.

Testing may be used with random frequency and may include urine testing, the wearing of a sweat patch, a remote alcohol testing system, and/or any form of prohibited substance screening or testing. The defendant must not obstruct, attempt to obstruct, or tamper with the efficiency and accuracy of prohibited substance screening or testing.

Participate in a program of inpatient or outpatient substance abuse therapy and counseling if directed by the pretrial services office or supervising officer.

ABC and NBC are desperate for Republicans to "move on" from the Hunter Biden investigation. Video at the link. It's a hoot.

When will the media move on from urging the GOP to move on?

Jonathan Turley writes about the media's desperate plea to please not investigate the president and his filthy overseas bribe-raking ventures.

"I wonder after this plea happens if you would advise your party to move on?"

That question from CBS's "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan to Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie was raised just days before a former business associate of Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, gives potentially explosive testimony to a House committee in the Biden corruption scandal.

The media's desire to "move on" from the scandal is reaching an almost frantic level, as millions in foreign payments and dozens of corporate shell companies are revealed, and incriminating emails are released.

The same plaintive demand was made in congressional hearings.

What was most striking about the last hearing involving two respected IRS whistleblowers was how Democratic members avoided virtually any specific questions.

The members discussed everything from the Emmett Till murder in 1955 to whether the term "two-tiered justice system" is racially insensitive ... and of course, Donald Trump.

It was clear that the release of the new evidence of corruption had left no room to maneuver for both Democrat politicians and the media.

Any question would now trip a wire on the Bidens, so most avoid the allegations in favor of talking about Trump or other shiny objects.

...

Others have continued to tell the public that there remain no alleged ties from Hunter to President Biden despite emails, pictures and witness testimony.

Yet it is becoming harder and harder to avoid these details.

With the possible testimony of Hunter's business associates, the only hope is that Republicans might be convinced to "move on."

What was most notable about the question to Christie was the reference to the plea bargain.

A year ago, I wrote a column on how the political and media establishment would likely use a "scandal implosion" approach as the evidence mounted over the corruption allegations.

After the Democrats lost the House, there was a need to cap off the scandal and I suggested that the Justice Department would secure a light plea on a couple tax counts with little or no jail time.

Members and the media would then declare the scandal closed and demand that we all "move on."

It is unnerving to see how the response unfolded so precisely as predicted. Members made repeated reference to the plea bargain to avoid further discussion.

...

None of this is going to work, of course. The public has long ago lost trust in the media. Indeed, the "Let's Go, Brandon" movement is as much a mocking of the media as it is the president.

Polls show that the public is not "moving on" and now views this as a major scandal. A majority believes that Hunter has received special protection in the investigation. While the media can continue to suppress the evidence and allegations within their own echo-chambered platforms, truth, like water, has a way of finding a way out.

The scandal is moving forward with or without the media.

The plea deal was filed under the auspices of a provision which purported to give the judge no power to reject it?

Sol Wisenberg @WisenbergSol

Again from NYT's Glenn Thrush reporting from the courtroom: "From the start, the judge seemed highly skeptical of the unusual deal -- which offered Hunter Biden broad immunity from prosecution in perpetuity, questioning why it had been filed under a provision that gave her no legal authority to reject it. When she asked Leo Wise, a prosecutor, if there was any precedent for the kind of deal being proposed, he replied, 'No, your honor.'"

For what reason would anyone do that, save corrupt reasons?

Who is paying for Hunter Biden's motorcade?!

Oh, the DOJ also wanted the judge to assume the unconstitutional role of prosecutor if Hunter Biden breached to terms of his pre-trial diversion (regarding the gun charge). They said they wanted this to avoid the political complications of such a breach.

What they really wanted was for the judge to make such breaches "go away" without the DOJ having to step in and cover for him further.

Karine Jean-Pierre said that Joe Biden had no comment on the corrupt deal his minions worked out going south, because he's too busy working on behalf of the American people.

No, she really said that.

One problem: Here's his schedule.

He had one event scheduled, all day: Listening to the Presidential Daily Briefing. (Or, in Biden's case, the "Presidential" Daily Briefing.)

That was it. He's been wide open for catnaps and Tapioca Breaks since 9am.

World Aquatics, the board that overseas most international swimming, diving, and water polo competition rules, suggests an "open" category for transgenders.

How about they compete -- or not -- as what they actually are?

World Aquatics, the world swimming governing body, announced Tuesday that it will set up an "open category" that will include transgender athletes, according to The Associated Press.

The governing body banned most male athletes from competing in the female division in 2022 following uproar over Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer who won a national title in women’s swimming after competing in the men’s collegiate division for three years. The president of World Aquatics, Husain Al-Musallam, said an "open category" swimming event will take place alongside other races, according to the AP.

World Aquatics oversees the swimming categories of the Olympics, including water polo and diving.

That sounds fine until you realize the three transgender water polo players in the entire world will take gold medals at literally every event. Because there are only three of them.

Woman squats down and urinates all over the floor on delayed Spirit Airlines Flight.

A woman relieved herself in the corner on a Spirit Airlines flight, alleging that she was not allowed to use the bathroom for two hours.

"I need to piss two hours, you tell me you cannot -- you close the doors," the woman explained to flight attendants filming her as she relieved herself, telling them finally, "I cannot hold the pee!"

Undaunted by the filming and the flight attendant's insistence that she say "hello to the camera' the woman continued, "You can do whatever you want. You can send a warrant, arresting me is better than this."

The flight attendant filming the woman disparaged the woman, telling the passenger she needed to drink water because her "pee [smelled] disgusting."

While it was not immediately clear which Spirit flight this woman was on, the incident is another instance of passengers relieving themselves on flights outside of the designated facilities onboard.

Can someone tell me: When a flight is delayed, and the plane is just sitting on the tarmac -- I assume, I guess, that they don't let you use the bathrooms? How long do they insist on this?

Because, at a certain point, either you declare an exception and let someone use the bathroom, giving warnings to workers on the tarmac below, or they'll just piss in a corner. I mean, at some point, you can't just tell someone to hold it in.

Hollywood's homeless takeover: Filthy encampment full of mentally ill drug users 'who run around naked' gets bigger - as despairing tax payers plead for help

The encampment near Selma Park is located a stone's throw from Larchmont Charter School, which houses 595 students, as well as an elementary school

Parents and residents alike are now complaining about a renewed stream of garbage littering the avenue, along with increasingly debauched behavior

The tents cannot be removed without the blessing from a certain councilman - who says moving encampments can hurt efforts to get homeless off the streets

By Alex Hammer For Dailymail.Com

Hollywood citizens are complaining about a homeless encampment that's surfaced near Selma Park - along with an array of tents, needles, and trash that have left residents at a loss.

The encampment - which is growing with each day - is a stone's throw from a local charter school that houses some 595 students in fifth through eighth grades, as well as an elementary school.

Parents and residents are now voicing their outrage about a near-constant stream of garbage littering the avenue, along with increasingly debauched behavior from those camping outside.

The issue is not a new one for taxpaying citizens - with such sites now commonplace after the pandemic presented a plethora of challenges to the Golden State, including its still-prevailing housing crisis. LA was no exception, where 'shelter in place' rules stopped officials from evicting encampments across the city.

While there is no such order this time, the tents cannot be removed without the blessing of city councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez - who claims moving encampments can hurt efforts to get homeless people off the streets.

'There's needles on the ground, also there's a lot of broken glass. You're getting catcalled,' Jeannie Vasquez told ABC 7 Los Angeles in a filmed interview from her embattled neighborhood.

'You're getting people that have mental illness,' She recounted some of the sights she and others in the affluent area have been regularly subjected to in recent weeks.

'You're seeing profanity. Sometimes you see people naked running around.

'It looks like a junkyard on our block, and it's just not safe.'

Speaking of lunatics, from last week:
