Biden Policies Need Better Arguments Than ‘Orange Man Bad’

/1 Comment/in , /by

“First you win the argument, then you win the vote.” President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders have ignored this advice from Margaret Thatcher to their own detriment. Democrats, aided by former President Donald Trump’s denigration of Georgia’s electoral system, were gifted by voters with the narrowest of legislative majorities, 51-50 in the Senate and 220-212 (with three vacancies currently) in the House. Biden himself won the crucial three swing states by a combined total of just 42,918 popular votes.

Incautiously, Democrats plunged into policymaking without making anything like cognizable policy arguments. Trump had reduced illegal immigration by extending walls on the Mexican border and persuading Mexico’s president to hold asylum-seekers in Mexico until their (usually baseless) claims could be ruled on. Both policies were ditched on day one of the Biden administration. The policy argument: “Orange Man Bad.”

Now we see the easily predictable results. Border apprehensions are headed toward 2 million this year, the highest since the 1998-2000 boom years . So-called asylum-seekers from Central America have been joined by Middle Easterners, Africans, and, most recently, by some 20,000 Haitians, previously settled in Chile and Brazil, huddled under a bridge heading to Del Rio, Texas.

Kamala Harris’s pathetic plea, “Don’t come,” has been overwhelmed by the evidence that most of those who do come illegally are ushered into the United States and told to meet court dates which everyone knows most won’t.

The likely result is something like one million new illegal immigrants in the U.S. this year. This represents a reversal of the trend. The Pew Research Center says the illegal immigrant population peaked at 12.2 million in 2007, declined as post-recession net immigration from Mexico plunged to zero, and leveled off at 10.5 million in 2017.

YouTube To Censor All Anti-Vaccine Content

/0 Comments/in , , /by

YouTube is cracking down on anti-vaccination content on its site, taking down several channels from high-profile anti-vaccination activists.

Channels belonging to activists such as Dr. Joseph Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are among those that YouTube will be taking down in its efforts to police anti-vaccination content on the social media site, according to the Washington Post . Any video content that claims “commonly used” vaccines already approved by health officials and the medical community might be life-threatening or ineffective will be banned from the site as part of YouTube’s new set of policies.

“Developing robust policies takes time,” Matt Halprin, YouTube’s vice president of global trust and safety, said of the decision not to act sooner. “We wanted to launch a policy that is comprehensive, enforceable with consistency, and adequately addresses the challenge.”

The Biden administration has encouraged social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to get better at policing anti-vaccination content, especially posts that could sow misinformation about the coronavirus vaccine.

President Joe Biden previously slammed social media companies, such as Facebook, as partially at fault for people dying from the coronavirus due to the misinformation content on their sites, stating that “they’re killing people.” Following criticism, Biden later walked back this comment, explaining that he wanted Facebook to do more to patrol the amount of misinformation about the coronavirus vaccines on its site.

Two Capitol Protesters Sentenced to 45 Days in Jail on Misdemeanor Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced two men to 45 days in jail for misdemeanor charges over their participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Derek Jancart, an Air Force veteran, and Erik Rau both pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct in the Capitol, which carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail.

Prosecutors had asked U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg, an Obama appointee, to sentence both defendants to four months in jail, arguing that while neither was accused of committing any violence or destruction during the riot, they had encouraged it on Jan. 6 and showed a lack of remorse in the immediate aftermath of the insurrection.

Boasberg said during a hearing on Wednesday the factors for each defendant necessitated a lighter sentence but acknowledged that all of the charges “related to the January 6 insurrection are serious.”

“You attempted with others to undermine one of our country’s bedrock acts, which is the peaceful transfer of power following a democratic election,” the judge said during Jancart’s sentencing. (Read more from “Two Capitol Protesters Sentenced to 45 Days in Jail on Misdemeanor Charges” HERE)

Man Drowns With Winning Lottery in His Wallet

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Michigan man won $45,000 in a lottery game – but drowned with the ticket in his wallet before he was able to cash it.

Gregory Jarvis, 57, was at the Blue Water Inn in Caseville on Sept. 13 when he played the Club Keno add-on game The Jack — and hit the jackpot, WJRT of Flint reported.

“Very nice guy, he was here every day,” joint owner Dawn Talaski told the news station. “Somebody said someone just won The Jack and he said, ‘Great,’ and someone asked him, ‘Was it you?’ and it was, so he was super excited.”

Talaski said Jarvis returned to the inn almost a week later and bought rounds of drinks, but had still not cashed his winning ticket because he didn’t have the proper documentation.

“He couldn’t cash it because he didn’t have a Social Security card at all, it wasn’t any good, so he applied for a new one,” she told WJRT. (Read more from “Man Drowns With Winning Lottery in His Wallet” HERE)

‘Biden Lied’: President Blasted After Top Generals Testify; Senator Grills Milley, Austin on Afghanistan Withdrawal; Reporters Grill Psaki On Contradictions

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. President Joe Biden faced backlash on Tuesday after top U.S. military leaders, testifying in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, directly contradicted what Biden told the American public during an interview over the summer amidst the U.S.’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, and head of U.S. Central Command Gen. Kenneth McKenzie gave their testimonies under oath in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee over Biden’s chaotic pullout from Afghanistan last month.

Biden faced widespread criticism, comparing his prior remarks, made during an interview back in August with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, with statements the generals gave today — statements which appeared to directly contradict what Biden said.

Numerous top Republicans online wrote that “Biden lied.” . . .

McKenzie said that the recommendation that he gave to Biden was “shaped” by his honest opinion of the situation in Afghanistan, which was that the U.S. needed to “maintain 2,500 troops in Afghanistan” and that pulling out those forces would “lead inevitably to the collapse of the Afghan military forces and eventually the Afghan government.” (Read more from “‘Biden Lied’: President Blasted After Top Generals Testify” HERE)

Senator Grills Top Generals on Afghanistan Withdrawal

By Daily Caller. Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton confronted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley during a Tuesday hearing. . .

Cotton began by asking the generals whether they had advised Biden to keep a small contingent of American troops in Afghanistan — and while they declined to comment on actual conversations they had with the president, they all agreed that their assessment had been in favor of leaving some 2500 troops on the ground.

Cotton then pointed to Biden’s claim that no military leader had advised him to leave a small troop presence in Afghanistan. “Is that true?” he asked Austin.

“Senator Cotton, I believe that – first of all, I know the president to be an honest and forthright man, and secondly –” Austin began.

“It’s a simple question, Secretary Austin,” Cotton interrupted. “He said no senior military leader advised him to leave small troop presence behind. Is that true or not? Did these officers’ and Gen. Milley’s recommendations get to the president personally?” (Read more from “Senator Grills Top Generals on Afghanistan Withdrawal” HERE)

Reporter Grills Psaki After Top Generals Contradict Biden’s Public Claims on Afghanistan Withdrawal

By Daily Caller. Reporters asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki during Tuesday’s press briefing about top generals who testified that they opposed President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan.

ABC News Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran asked Psaki who had advised the president to withdraw from Afghanistan. During Tuesday’s testimony, both Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley stated that they had been in favor of leaving 2,500 troops on the ground.

Biden previously claimed that no senior military leader advised him to leave some troops behind.

“Who in his military advisers told him it would be fine to pull everybody out?” Moran asked during the briefing.

“I’m not going to get into specific details of who recommended what,” the press secretary said. She added that “there were recommendations made by a range of his advisers” and Biden had “welcomed” the input.

WATCH: NBA Star Says Insults Don’t Make Him ‘Comfortable’ With Getting Vaccinated

Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac recently told the press that he does not need to take the coronavirus vaccine because he already suffered a bout of the virus and now has natural immunity.

He also says that being “demeaned” and insulted for his views on the vaccine do not make him more likely to change his mind about getting the jab. The 2017 first-round draft pick said data shows that those with natural immunity have an even greater bulwark against the virus.

Report: Fully Vaccinated Couple Dies From COVID-19 a Minute Apart While Holding Hands

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A fully vaccinated Michigan couple died one minute apart from COVID-19 on Sunday, weeks after coming down with the virus.

Cal Dunham, 59, and his wife Linda, 66, had preexisting conditions and were very cautious, Fox17Online reported. But they came down with symptoms during a recent camping trip and days later were hospitalized and put on ventilators, the report said.

They did not improve and doctors told the family that they would likely need to come off life support on Monday. Their daughter Sarah Dunham told the outlet that the pair “had other plans.”

“It was Sunday and dad’s like, ‘You know what? This is what we’re going to do today,’” she said.

They were reportedly wheeled into the same room. He died at 11:07 a.m. and she died at 11:08 a.m., the report said. They were holding hands. (Read more from “Report: Fully Vaccinated Couple Dies From COVID-19 a Minute Apart While Holding Hands” HERE)

Governor Sues Biden Admin Over ‘Destructive and Illegal’ Border Policy

/1 Comment/in , /by

Florida governor Ron DeSantis filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Tuesday on behalf of the state of Florida, claiming that the “ideological” Biden White House is pursuing a “destructive and illegal” catch-and-release border policy that is leaving Florida’s citizens vulnerable.

Speaking alongside Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody Tuesday afternoon in Fort Meyers, DeSantis called the Biden administration policy, which has led to a record number of illegal alien encounters with United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in recent months — and more than 1 million encounters in 2021 — a “total disaster.”

He specifically targeted the Biden administration’s unofficial “catch-and-release” policy, which allows captured illegal immigrants who claim asylum to remain in the United States until their claims can be heard in an immigration court — sometimes a matter of months. The policy runs counter to the Trump administration’s solution, which had prospective asylum seekers remaining in Mexico until their claims could be assessed.

Biden’s policy, DeSantis claims, has sent unscreened illegal immigrants into Florida — on purpose.

“I think this is intentional, I think this is ideological,” DeSantis said at the conference Tuesday. “They want a massive illegal migration into this country.” (Read more from “Governor Sues Biden Admin Over ‘Destructive and Illegal’ Border Policy” HERE)

Sports Fans Aren’t the Only Ones Ramping up Their ‘F**K Joe Biden’ Chants

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Outside a home near Gilmanton, New Hampshire, a rural area just 20 minutes or so from the capital city of Concord, is a political sign by the side of the road. It’s less of a sign, actually, and more of a whole handcrafted scene.

Up top in their own frame, a posse of “socialist” handlers are positioned, each holding a string connected to a limp and befuddled character below them. It’s President Joe Biden, of course, emasculated behind a surgical face covering. He’s their puppet.

More than 1,100 miles west in Haven, Wisconsin, on Lake Michigan, tens of thousands of fans gathered to watch the biennial Ryder Cup, a much-anticipated golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States, where videos captured by attendees show chants of “F-ck Joe Biden” rising from the crowd.

It’s a phrase that’s been repeated frequently in recent days. Just the first week of college football, the crass chorus broke out during a handful of games, with the same sentiment expressed every football weekend since. . .

But although riled-up sports fans and boisterous mall demonstrators seem a little more eager to yell out their frustrations verbally in four-letter-word form, the rowdy crowds and the silent roadside puppet theater are all saying the same thing: F-ck Joe Biden.
