Pelosi-Biden Smooch Doesn’t Constitute COVID-19 ‘Close Contact,’ Psaki Maintains

White House press secretary Jen Psaki fielded numerous questions Thursday about President Joe Biden’s possible exposure to coronavirus and maintained that despite being roughly seven feet away from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for 15 minutes and receiving a kiss on the cheek, he has not been a “close contact” to any of the lawmakers or members of his Cabinet to contract the virus this week.

Psaki repeatedly referred back to exposure guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is “15 minutes of contact within a set period of time, and within six feet.”

“It did not meet that bar,” she responded when asked specifically about Pelosi’s kiss. “It does not mean that no one will get COVID around the world who does not have a close contact. It just means we are defining for all of you whether the president and their interaction met the definition of the CDC of having a close contact.” (Read more from “Pelosi-Biden Smooch Doesn’t Constitute COVID-19 ‘Close Contact,’ Psaki Maintains” HERE)

Hillary Says People Should Be ‘Saying Gay All the Time’

Hillary Clinton, over the course of running for the office of president twice, and losing twice, has been an open advocate for homosexuality.

She’s called “gay rights” “human rights” and promoted gay marriage. She’s slammed others who disagree with her sexual lifestyle choice agenda. She’s made fun of those who disagree with her. . .

[On a recent podcast with comedian Kate McKinnon] a listener reportedly asked, “What are your thoughts on the state of attack we find on the LGBTQ+ community with Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill passing 22-to-17 and Texas anti-trans agenda.” . . .

Clinton said, “Oh my gosh, well, first off, it is profoundly outrageous and deeply sad that people in positions of power in our country who are more interested in undermining and opposing the rights of individuals than they are in bringing people together,” she said, “I think people have to stand up to it.

“The idea ‘don’t say gay,’ I think people should go around saying gay all the time.” (Read more from “Hillary Says People Should Be ‘Saying Gay All the Time’” HERE)

Biden Administration Will Hold States ‘Accountable’ for Outlawing ‘Life-Saving’ Sex Change Surgeries for Kids

White House press secretary Jen Psaki warned Thursday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will hold states “accountable” for outlawing sex reassignment surgeries to minors.

The Alabama legislature passed legislation Thursday criminalizing gender reassignment and other related procedures for minors, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments, with a threat of up to 10 years imprisonment, according to Reuters. The press secretary said Alabama’s legislation, which awaits passage by the governor, is intended to “harm kids.”

“Republican elected officials are engaging in a disturbing, cynical trend of attacking vulnerable, transgender kids for purely partisan, political reasons,” the press secretary said. “Today in Alabama, instead of focusing on critical kitchen table issues, like the economy, COVID, or addressing the country’s mental health crisis, Republican lawmakers are currently debating legislation that among many things, will target trans youth with tactics that threaten to put pediatricians in prison if they provide medically necessary, life-saving healthcare for the kids they serve.”

The press secretary also announced that “lawmakers and other legislators who are contemplating these discriminatory bills have been put on notice by the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)” and said that outlawing sex reassignment, puberty blockers and hormone treatments for children by medical professionals “may violate the Constitution and federal law.” (Read more from “Biden Administration Will Hold States ‘Accountable’ for Outlawing ‘Life-Saving’ Sex Change Surgeries for Kids” HERE)

New York Times: Video Shows Ukrainian Troops Killing Russian POWs

By New York Times. A video posted online Monday and verified by The New York Times appears to show a group of Ukrainian soldiers killing captured Russian troops outside a village west of Kyiv, Ukraine.

“He’s still alive. Film these marauders. Look, he’s still alive. He’s gasping,” a man says as a Russian soldier with a jacket pulled over his head, apparently wounded, is seen still breathing. A soldier then shoots the man twice. After the man keeps moving, the soldier shoots him again, and he stops. The Times is not publishing the video because of its graphic nature.

At least three other apparent Russian soldiers, including one with an obvious head wound who has his hands tied behind his back, can be seen dead near the victim. All are wearing camouflage, and three have white arm bands commonly worn by Russian troops. Equipment is scattered around them, and there are blood stains near each man’s head.

[Warning: video contains graphic content.]

Video Shows Ukrainian Forces Shooting Dead a Wounded Russian Soldier

By New York Post. Grisly video footage emerged Wednesday showing Ukrainian forces shooting and killing a wounded Russian soldier on a road west of Kyiv. . .

The camera then pans to the bodies of two other Russian soldiers dead in the road. One, with an obvious head wound, has his hands tied behind his back. The other appears to be wearing the blue striped shirt of Russia’s elite airborne troops.

The Ukrainian unit is not identified in the video, but the scene depicted, and the Ukrainian soldiers seen in the footage, appear identical to those in a video posted March 30.

In that video — which was shared by the Ukrainian news service UNIAN and does not depict the killing of wounded Russians — the unit is identified as the Georgian Legion, a foreign paramilitary unit fighting on the Ukrainian side.

“The Georgian Legion continues to help Ukrainians in the cleansing of the Kyiv region from the ‘liberators,’” the video’s caption reads. (Read more from “Video Shows Ukrainian Forces Shooting Dead a Wounded Russian Soldier” HERE)

Biden Laptop Whistleblower Reveals He Has 450 Gigabytes of Deleted Material Including 80,000 Images and Videos (VIDEO)

The source who distributed Hunter Biden’s laptop to congressmen and media has fled the US to Switzerland, saying he fears retaliation from the Biden administration.

Jack Maxey gave DailyMail.com a copy of the hard drive from Hunter’s abandoned laptop in the spring of 2021.

He also gave copies and material from it to the Washington Post, New York Times, and Senator Chuck Grassley in his role as ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee – but he claims they all sat on it for months. . .

Maxey, a former co-host of ex-Donald Trump advisor Steve Bannon’s podcast the War Room, claims he and his colleagues have found ‘450 gigabytes of deleted material’ including 80,000 images and videos and more than 120,000 archived emails. . .

Maxey claimed one former intelligence agency senior staffer told him soon after he received the hard drive in 2020: ‘If you don’t release enough of this, so that they know you can release all of it, I’m telling you brother, you’re a dead man.’ (Read more from “Biden Laptop Whistleblower Reveals He Has 450 Gigabytes of Deleted Material Including 80,000 Images and Videos (VIDEO)” HERE)

GOP Probe Into Hunter Biden’s Business Dealings Reportedly Reveals Over 150 Financial Transactions Flagged as ‘Concerning’

A GOP probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings has reportedly raised red flags surrounding President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, CBS News reported Wednesday. The network also reported that over 150 financial transactions from Hunter Biden or James Biden “were flagged as concerning by U.S. banks for further review.”

The news coincides with rising concerns and revelations over Biden’s son’s foreign business dealings, as well as renewed interest in the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.

Republican lawmakers released a slew of bank records that name the Lion Hall Group, James Biden’s company, as taking payments from a Chinese-financed company in 2018, CBS News reported. Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley of Iowa, speaking to the network, said the documents show “people with the Biden name, dealing with Chinese business people that have a relationship to the Communist Party.”

“I think James Biden was very much a part of this,” Grassley added.

Oklahoma State House Approves Bill to Make Abortion Illegal

The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he’d sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk. . .

The Oklahoma bill, which passed the Senate last year, makes an exception only for an abortion performed to save the life of the mother, said GOP state Rep. Jim Olsen, of Roland, who sponsored the bill. Under the bill, a person convicted of performing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.

“The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman,” Olsen said. (Read more from “Oklahoma State House Approves Bill to Make Abortion Illegal” HERE)

White House Defends Giving Illegal Crossers Smart Phones to Report to ICE

The White House on Wednesday defended the idea of giving smartphones to illegal border crossers, to help them stay in touch with ICE officials.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki appeared indignant after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned her about the program, detailed recently in their reporting.

“I think you, of all people, since you’ve asked me a range of questions on this topic over time, would recognize that we need to take steps to ensure that we know where individuals are and we can track, and we can check in with then,” she replied.

Psaki said the phones provided to migrants and border crossers were part of the administration’s “alternative to detention” program at the border.

There are nearly 180,000 undocumented immigrants in the United States being monitored with traceable devices, according to reports. (Read more from “White House Defends Giving Illegal Crossers Smart Phones to Report to ICE” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Rails Against Republican Governor for Sharing His Pronouns: ‘What a Creepy Guy’ (VIDEO)

Tucker Carlson shredded Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) for sharing his pronouns with a child during a segment where he claimed Utah’s governor does not represent the voters.

The Fox News host put the state’s officials under the microscope. He spent several minutes blistering elected officials in what was more or less a bawling out of Republican voters there. . .

Carlson then aired video from a virtual town hall in which Cox shared his gender pronouns with a high school student.

“Well, thank you so much Debbie for that, that question,” Cox said in the clip. “My preferred pronouns are he him, and his. So thank you for sharing yours with me.”

“What a creepy guy,” he said. “Spencer Cox identifies as a male, at least to some limited extent. Cox could’ve cleared up that mystery a lot more quickly simply by declaring, ‘I’m a man.’ Instead, he went full hostage video.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Rails Against Republican Governor for Sharing His Pronouns: ‘What a Creepy Guy’” HERE)

Putin Says World Faces Food Crisis Due to West’s Sanctions

President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia must keep a close eye on its food exports to hostile countries because the West’s sanctions had fomented a global food crisis and spiralling energy prices.

The West’s sanctions over Putin’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine have tipped Russia towards its worst economic crisis since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, though Moscow says the global impact of the sanctions could be much more significant.

The Kremlin chief cautioned that higher energy prices combined with a shortage of fertilisers would prompt the West to print money to buy up supplies, leading to food shortages among poorer countries.

“They will inevitably exacerbate food shortages in the poorest regions of the world, spur new waves of migration and in general drive food prices even higher,” Putin told a meeting on developing food production.

“In these current conditions, a shortage of fertilisers on the global market is inevitable,” Putin said. “We will have to be more careful about food supplies abroad, especially carefully monitor the exports to countries which are hostile to us.” (Read more from “Putin Says World Faces Food Crisis Due to West’s Sanctions” HERE)
