WATCH: Biden Whispers Repeatedly During ‘Really Creepy’ Q&A

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden on Thursday repeatedly whispered to reporters during an impromptu press conference at the White House — drawing bemused social media speculation and jokes about the “really creepy” exchanges.

On three separate occasions, Biden hunched over his lectern in the White House East Room and forcefully whispered to reporters. . .

When asked about additional relief for families, Biden whispered toward PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor: “I got them $1.9 trillion in relief so far. They’re going to be getting checks in the mail that are consequential this week for childcare.”

Later, when asked by CNN reporter Phil Mattingly about how the deal was brokered despite low expectations, Biden said in a normal speaking voice that he always thought the outlook was good. . .

Dropping to a whisper and stooping his head as his eyes grew wide, Biden added: “I wrote the bill on the environment. Why would I not be for it?”

University Warns Students Not to Say These ‘Oppressive’ Words

/0 Comments/in , /by

The rule of thumb at this ultra-woke college is, don’t say “rule of thumb.”

Students and faculty at Brandeis University are being urged to stop using words and phrases like “picnic,” “trigger warning” and even “rule of thumb,” because of what a campus counseling service calls their links to violence and power to “reinforce systems of oppression.”

A compendium of “potentially oppressive language” posted on the school’s website by its Prevention, Advocacy and Resource Center also lists loads of examples of “gender exclusive,” “ableist,” and “culturally appropriative” terminology that “can get in the way of meaningful dialogue.”

The “Oppressive Language List,” first reported by Fox News, was developed recently as part of the PARC’s “Response to Anti-Blackness” program and “is always growing based on suggestions from the community,” according to a web page titled “Holding Ourselves Accountable.” (Read more from “University Warns Students Not to Say These ‘Oppressive’ Words” HERE)

Woke Tales: New ‘Equity’ Charges at Restaurants, Censorship at Large State University

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A Colorado mayor’s ban on the pledge of allegiance has also been defied by citizens who engaged in a patriotic act of civil disobedience. More culture war skirmishes are playing out elsewhere, including in Northern Virginia. Meanwhile, some new stories on my radar: Woke restaurant owners are starting to levy “equity” charges on customers:

The restaurant’s second justification is that many tippers are racist and sexist, according to uncited research. “Studies have also shown that there is inequity and built-in bias in the way consumers give tips,” the statement reads. “In general, Black or Brown servers receive less tips than Caucasian servers. There is gender bias as well.” The final part of the statement says the new policy stems from wider racial injustice and is not a substitute for gratuity. “In the wake of racial injustice protests and the closures due to Covid, now is the time for Broders’ to reimagine its economics and provide fair pay across the company,” the statement reads. “Our Benefits & Equity Charge is applied entirely to employee compensation. This supplement helps us to set a $16 minimum hourly wage for customer facing employees, $18 minimum hourly wage for kitchen employees… Altogether this allows everyone in our company to earn a real living wage. The 15% Benefits & Equity Charge is not a gratuity.” … Out of curiosity, I looked around to see if other restaurants are adding similar charges. I quickly found one. Pizzeria Toro, a North Carolina restaurant, recently announced that it is introducing a 20 percent Living Wage Fee. The pizzeria’s owner, Gray Brooks, said this is the “equitable” thing to do. “In order for the bottom to rise up, the top has to come down a little bit,” said Brooks.

. . .A fraction of a fraction of Americans has enough knowledge of the race-fixated activist lexicon to have even the foggiest idea what this paragraph intends to communicate. It’s nuts that Miranda, who has made his artistic mark on society in a major way, feels compelled to apologize to such people. Out of that bastion of left-wingery, the University of…Oklahoma?

The woke army can spend much of its time pretending none of this stuff is happening, but the reality is obvious and relentless. (Read more from “Woke Tales: New ‘Equity’ Charges at Restaurants, Censorship at Large State University” HERE)

Biden Complains About ‘Latinx’ Not Getting Vaccinated (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday, President Joe Biden made an appearance in Raleigh, North Carolina, to promote vaccinations against the Wuhan coronavirus.

During his remarks, the president discussed issues of “equity” with vaccines, noting that of a team of doctors, they have one working solely on that “equity” issue. This is to do with, in part how, as Biden claimed “it’s awful hard as well to get Latinx vaccinated as well.” The president pronounced it in such a way that “Latinx” rhymes with “Kleenex.” The reason why, he explained, was because “they’re worried they’ll be vaccinated and deported,” suggesting the president was equating the “Latinx” community with illegal immigrants.

Minutes later, the president used the term “Hispanic communities.”

Despite such hesitation from certain demographics, the president shared that “across the nation, people of color accounted for more than half the vaccinations in the last month.” He was met with applause when declaring “the more we close the racial gap in vaccination rates, the more lives we can save.” (Read more from “Biden Complains About ‘Latinx’ Not Getting Vaccinated (VIDEO)” HERE)

Harris Joins Ranks of Headache-Inducing Vice Presidents

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President Kamala Harris keeps breaking the cardinal rule of a running mate and second-in-command: Do no harm.

Harris is under intense scrutiny, given she is President Joe Biden’s heir apparent, yet, she appears to be repeating the mistakes of her failed 2020 White House campaign, delivering an uneven performance as his No. 2. And it is proving to be a detrimental distraction for Biden’s administration.

Presidential historian and Ronald Reagan biographer Craig Shirley compared Harris to former Vice Presidents Dan Quayle and Spiro Agnew, as “two men with both feet perpetually in their mouths.”

Quayle, for instance, earned a reputation for uttering unintelligible phrases, such as “I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.”

“When they were VPs, joke writers for late-night comedians never were lacking for material. They were made fun of for just getting out of bed in the morning,” Shirley told the Washington Examiner. (Read more from “Harris Joins Ranks of Headache-Inducing Vice Presidents” HERE)

Be Calm, TSA Says After Traveler Accused of Biting 2 Agents

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) asked Thursday in a press release for travelers to be calm and respectful at security checkpoints after multiple incidents, one including a passenger allegedly biting two TSA officers earlier in June.

The TSA said they are investigating an incident where a passenger in Denver, Colorado, is facing possible civil penalties after allegedly biting two TSA agents.

The agency also said a separate passenger is facing criminal charges after allegedly assaulting two officers “while attempting to breach the exit lane and is facing state criminal charges for criminal trespass, fleeing and evading police, misdemeanor assault, and resisting arrest,” in an incident in Louisville, Kentucky, also in June.

Both suspects could face civil penalties of up to $13,910 for each violation of TSA security requirements, according to the press release.

“Passengers do not arrive at an airport or board a plane with the intent of becoming unruly or violent; however, what is an exciting return to travel for some may be a more difficult experience for others, which can lead to unexpected, and unacceptable, behaviors,” said TSA Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Administrator Darby LaJoye in a statement. “We appreciate our continued partnership and coordination with the FAA and stand together in a unified position of zero-tolerance with respect to attacks against our employees.”

Leaked: Hillary Warned Wuhan Lab Could Make Bioweapon

/0 Comments/in , /by

When she was secretary of state, Hillary Clinton warned in a cable to French officials that research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology could lead to a “biological weapons proliferation concern.”

The cable, obtained via Wikileaks, was addressed to all embassies in member nations ahead of a plenary session in Paris of the Australia Group, Sept. 21-25, 2009, reported Jack Posobiec for Human Events.

The international export control forum was organized to prevent the spread of chemical and biological weapons. Members include European Union nations, India, Japan and South Korea. But China is not a member.

“We believe it is important to focus on emerging chemical and biological technologies, trends in the trade of CBW-related goods and threats,” Clinton’s cable said to France.

She said participants in the forum would benefit from hearing about France’s “experiences assisting China in setting up a Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4) laboratory at the Wuhan Institute of Virology from the export control and intangible technology transfer perspectives.” (Read more from “Leaked: Hillary Warned Wuhan Lab Could Make Bioweapon” HERE)

WATCH: Woke General’s Defense of Pushing CRT ‘White Rage’ Under Fire

/0 Comments/in , /by

The top U.S. military officer in the United States and President Joe Biden’s military adviser, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley is stoking controversy on the right and left after he defended studying critical race theory as a way to understand “white rage” during a House hearing on Wednesday.

Milley, asked to respond to Republican lawmakers’ criticism of critical race theory being taught in the military, caused shock waves throughout the political world that were still reverberating the next day, when he defended it and tied “white rage” to the January 6 Capitol riot[:]

I’ll obviously have to get much smarter on whatever the theory is. But, I do think it’s important actually for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read and the United States Military Academy is a university and it is important that we train and we understand– and I want to understand white rage and I’m white, and I want to understand it.

So, what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out. I want to maintain an open mind here and I do want to analyze it. It’s important that we understand that because our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardians, they come from the American people. So, it is important that the leaders, now and in the future, do understand it.

I’ve read Mao Tse-tung. I’ve read–I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist. So, what is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend? And, I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned and non-commissioned officers of being ‘woke’ or something else because we’re studying some theories that are out there.

Joe Biden: ‘A Range of Programs’ Are Needed for Americans to Not ‘Pull the Trigger’ (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden delivered remarks Wednesday on the administration’s strategy to prevent gun crimes across the country when he said there is “a range of programs” he believes are needed to keep Americans from pulling the trigger.

A reporter asked Biden what he feels would be the “most effective thing that government can do to change the mindset of those who feel compelled to pull the triggers” of guns.

Biden said in response to the question that one could hope to change the mindset of people by “being engaged in a whole range of programs.”

He continued to say that involves “everything from mental health programs” to start engaging with people earlier on and “letting them know there’s other options.”

We need to be “making sure that when a child is young, they have access to real education, they get started off on the right foot,” Biden continued.

Biden Touts New Crime Prevention Strategy Focused on Gun Control

By Fox News. President Biden in remarks Wednesday said his crime prevention strategy would focus on strengthening background checks, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and boosting community policing.

Biden met with state and local leaders and law enforcement officials ahead of his remarks to talk crime prevention strategy, amid a surge in violence in cities across the U.S.

Both Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, who spoke before him, pointed to a historic rise in crime in the summertime, and said that rise “may be more pronounced” as the nation comes out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The White House has insisted curbing gun violence is key to tamping down a “staggering” surge of crime across the U.S.

“Talk to most responsible gun owners they’ll tell you there’s no possible justification for having 100 rounds in a magazine,” Biden said. (Read more from “Biden Touts New Crime Prevention Strategy Focused on Gun Control” HERE)

Whistleblower Document Appears to Show Microsoft Helped Write Big Tech Bills

/0 Comments/in , /by

Microsoft was given an advance copy of major antitrust legislation, a document given to Republican Rep. Thomas Massie by a whistleblower appeared to show.

The document is the original version of the Platform Competition and Opportunity Act, one of Democrats’ six pending antitrust bills targeting Big Tech, according to Rep. Thomas Massie. Every page of the document, which the Daily Caller News Foundation obtained on Wednesday, is watermarked with the text “CONFIDENTIAL – Microsoft.”

“I just came into possession of a document that everyone needs to know about,” Massie said during the Judiciary Committee markup of the legislation on Wednesday. “It’s marked ‘CONFIDENTIAL – Microsoft.’ A whistleblower provided this. It’s the first draft of one of these bills that would’ve covered Microsoft. This begs the question: did Microsoft have this bill and the other bills that we are voting on today before I had this bill?”

“Why would you have to mark it ‘CONFIDENTIAL – Microsoft’ if they found it on the website for Congress,” he said. (Read more from “Whistleblower Document Appears to Show Microsoft Helped Write Big Tech Bills” HERE)
