Biden Announces 2024 Re-Election Bid, Attacks ‘MAGA Extremists’; Did the WH Just Admit Biden Won’t Finish a Full Second Term If Re-Elected? (VIDEO)

By NBC News. President Joe Biden made his re-election bid official Tuesday, capping months of speculation over his plans four years to the day since he announced his 2020 campaign.

In a video titled “Freedom” — which opens with a scene of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, followed by an image of an abortion rights protest — Biden said that after spending his first term fighting for the country’s democracy, “MAGA extremists are lining up” to cut the social safety net and take away personal liberties.

“Cutting Social Security that you’ve paid for your entire life while cutting taxes for the very wealthy. Dictating what health care decisions women can make, banning books, and telling people who they can love. All while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote,” he said.

Did the WH Just Admit Biden Won’t Finish a Full Second Term If Re-Elected?

By Daily Caller. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday refused to say whether President Joe Biden plans to serve a full second term.

Biden officially announced his reelection bid in a campaign video Tuesday morning, making him the oldest presidential candidate in history. Democratic voters have expressed concern over the 80-year-old president’s age, with polls showing a majority prefer a different candidate.

A reporter asked Jean-Pierre if Biden will serve his full second term. He would be 86 years old at the end of his second term.

“I’m just not gonna get ahead of the president,” Jean-Pierre responded. “That’s something for him to decide, I’m just not gonna get ahead of it. There’s a 2024 campaign. Anything else related to that, I would refer you to that.” (Read more from “Did the WH Just Admit Biden Won’t Finish a Full Second Term If Re-Elected?” HERE)

Tucker Carlson’s Prayer Talk May Have Led to Fox News Ouster: “That Stuff Freaks Rupert Out”

. . .[T]he mystery remains: Why did Fox News take its biggest star off the air?

A new theory has emerged. According to the source, Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch removed Carlson over remarks Carlson made during a speech at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary gala on Friday night. Carlson laced his speech with religious overtones that even Murdoch found too extreme, the source, who was briefed on Murdoch’s decision-making, said. Carlson told the Heritage audience that national politics has become a manichean battle between “good” and “evil.” Carlson said that people advocating for transgender rights and DEI programs want to destroy America and they could not be persuaded with facts. “We should say that and stop engaging in these totally fraudulent debates…I’ve tried. That doesn’t work,” he said. The answer, Carlson suggested, was prayer. “I have concluded it might be worth taking just 10 minutes out of your busy schedule to say a prayer for the future, and I hope you will,” he said. “That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,” the source said.

Carlson declined to comment. A spokesperson for Fox Corp. declined to comment.

It’s been reported that Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott made the decision to fire Carlson on Friday night. Another source, a person close to Murdoch, has said something similar to me. Scott informed Carlson of the decision on Monday morning.

Rupert Murdoch was perhaps unnerved by Carlson’s messianism because it echoed the end-times worldview of Murdoch’s ex-fiancée Ann Lesley Smith, the source said. In my May cover story, I reported that Murdoch and Smith called off their two-week engagement because Smith had told people Carlson was “a messenger from God.” Murdoch had seen Carlson and Smith discuss religion firsthand. In late March, Carlson had dinner at Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard with Murdoch and Smith, according to the source. During dinner, Smith pulled out a bible and started reading passages from the Book of Exodus, the source said. “Rupert just sat there and stared,” the source said. A few days after the dinner, Murdoch and Smith called off the wedding. By taking Carlson off the air, Murdoch was also taking away his ex’s favorite show.

Law Enforcement Claims Renowned Homosexual Professor Admitted to Molestation of Multiple Children

A California professor has been busted for trying to arrange to rape a 7-year-old in conversations with an undercover FBI agent where he suggested luring the girl with a doll and chocolate, prosecutors said.

Rodger “Rod” Githens, an associate professor at the University of the Pacific, was arrested on April 21 on charges including receipt and distribution of images of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct, a criminal complaint from the Eastern District of California confirms.

The graphic complaint includes extensive details of Githens’ online conversations with an undercover FBI agent posing as a “‘taboo-friendly’” 30-year-old man who claimed to be sexually active with his 7-year-old niece.

During the exchange that began on Grindr on March 25, Githens said he was “experienced” with molesting children and expressed interest in meeting the man and his niece. . .

Githens, 44, also told the undercover agent that he was married to a 35-year-old man from Mexico, and that he once molested his husband’s 11-year-old nephew while watching television.

Biden Actually Claims Ownership of America’s Kids (VIDEO)

There have been numerous, and regular, reports and videos about how Joe Biden’s affinity for sniffing others’ hair, often children, that goes well into the “creepy” zone.

One report, from SkyNews, pointed out that critics had excoriated him for his behavior.

He’s now moved well beyond sniffing hair, and has adopted a statement declaring that everyone, especially teachers since the comment came at a press conference for a teacher, has ownership of all children. . .

He repeated a statement from teacher Rebekah Peterson, and appeared to adopt it as his own.

“Rebecca put a teacher’s creed into words when she said, ‘There is no such thing as someone else’s child.’ No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children,” Biden claimed. (Read more from “Biden Actually Claims Ownership of America’s Kids (VIDEO)” HERE)

Here’s How Much More Efficient AI Makes the Average Worker: Study

Access to artificial intelligence rendered workers in a customer support setting 14% more efficient, according to a new working paper from Stanford University and MIT researchers.

The findings come as ChatGPT, an AI language processing tool, accrues worldwide recognition as knowledge workers leverage the system’s capabilities to execute tasks such as writing emails and fixing computer code in a matter of seconds. The academics showed that customer service employees at an unnamed Fortune 500 software company who had access to a tool based on a version of GPT answered more customer requests in the same amount of time as their colleagues who did not have access to the system.

“Access to the tool increases productivity, as measured by issues resolved per hour, by 14% on average, with the greatest impact on novice and low-skilled workers, and minimal impact on experienced and highly skilled workers,” the working paper said. “We provide suggestive evidence that the AI model disseminates the potentially tacit knowledge of more able workers and helps newer workers move down the experience curve.”

The researchers indeed found that newer and less skilled workers saw significant productivity gains, while their more experienced colleagues saw minimal improvement from the technology. The tool, which monitored customer chats and provided agents with real-time suggestions on how to respond, was “designed to augment agents,” who remained responsible for the conversation and were able to ignore the suggestions from the system.

Employees who used the AI tool saw a “decline in the time” necessary to handle an individual customer chat and an increased capacity to handle multiple chats at once, as well as a “small increase” in the portion of customer requests successfully resolved. Workers who had two months of tenure and access to the system typically performed as well as agents with six months of tenure and no access to the system.

Judge Forces Sorority Girls to Disclose Identities to Stop Disturbing ‘Trans’ Male from Moving into Their House

A U.S. district court judge ordered University of Wyoming sorority sister plaintiffs to reveal their names in a lawsuit against Kappa Kappa Gamma’s University of Wyoming chapter for allowing a transgender-identifying man to be inducted.

According to local news, “The six sorority sisters sued the Kappa Kappa Gamma’s parent organization, its president and the school’s first transgender sorority member late last month in a closely watched case. They alleged that the sorority did not follow its bylaws and rules, failed to uphold its mission, breached its housing contract with members, and misled them by admitting a transgender student.” The plaintiffs filed the suit anonymously as “Jane Does” and assigned the pseudonym “Terry Smith” to the trans-identifying sorority member. . .

If the lawsuit is unsuccessful, transgender-identifying man Artemis Langford, who was admitted into the sorority in 2022, will move into the Kappa Kappa Gamma chapter house in the fall of 2023.

The lawsuit states that Langford is 6’2’’ tall, weighs 260 pounds, has not undergone any apparent chemical or surgical trans medical interventions, and rarely attempts to look like a female. It also reveals that the female plaintiffs feel extremely uncomfortable around Langford, who has allegedly engaged in bizarre and even “threatening” behavior, such as staring at the women without talking for hours, asking inappropriate questions, and at one point having “an erection visible through his leggings.”

During the recruitment process, Langford “avoided answering questions about his hobbies, passions, or involvement in other organizations,” according to the lawsuit. Instead, it says, he inquired about whether he could live in the sorority house and “talked about his desire to be near cadavers and to touch dead bodies.” (Read more from “Judge Forces Sorority Girls to Disclose Identities to Stop Disturbing ‘Trans’ Male from Moving into Their House” HERE)

Hunter Biden Notified Burisma Colleague of Planned Blinken Meet: Emails

First son Hunter Biden kept his business partners apprised of at least two scheduled one-on-one meetings with Antony Blinken, emails reviewed by The Post show.

The decade-plus-long relationship between Blinken and Hunter made headlines last week after the House Judiciary Committee revealed that former CIA acting director Michael Morell testified in private that Blinken — then a Biden 2020 campaign adviser — “triggered” a letter from 51 ex-intelligence officials that sought to discredit The Post’s reporting on bombshell emails from the first son’s abandoned laptop. . .

On May 22, 2015, 13 months after joining the Burisma board, Hunter Biden emailed Blinken, then President Barack Obama’s deputy secretary of state, with a request.

“Have a few minutes next week to grab a cup of coffee? I know you are impossibly busy, but would like to get your advice on a couple of things. Best, Hunter.”

“Absolutely,” Blinken emailed back. “I’m just about to land in Tokyo en route back DC from Burma. I’ll be in office from Tuesday on. Copying Linda in my office to find a good time. Look forward to seeing you. Tony.” (Read more from “Hunter Biden Notified Burisma Colleague of Planned Blinken Meet: Emails” HERE)

Trans Runner Beat 14K Women in London Marathon after Running NYC as a Man

A transgender runner is under fire for crediting “girl power” for beating nearly 14,000 others in the female category of the London Marathon — just months after racing in New York as a man.

Sports bra-wearing racer Glenique Frank — who ran the New York Marathon on Nov. 6 as Glen Frank — went viral after stopping to talk to a BBC reporter covering the UK race Sunday.

“London is the best!” the 52-year-old runner said of [his] 17th marathon, which last year included Tokyo and Chicago and will include all of the “six majors,” including Berlin and then Boston.

“Girl power!” Frank said of [his] marathon efforts while flexing [his] bulging biceps above rainbow-colored armbands.

The runner — whose social media still shows photos of [him] running earlier races as a balding man — ended the mid-race chat to gush about how [his] “beautiful son” is expecting a baby. (Read more from “Trans Runner Beat 14K Women in London Marathon after Running NYC as a Man” HERE)

Trump Hints He May Skip GOP Debates: ‘Nobody Got My Approval’

Former President Donald Trump appeared to cast doubt about whether he will participate in the GOP debates.

“I see that everybody is talking about the Republican Debates, but nobody got my approval, or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them. When you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers, and you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP & MAGA-hating anchors asking the ‘questions,’ why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Republican National Committee announced the first primary debate will take place in Milwaukee in August and will be hosted by Fox News. The RNC also announced the second debate will take place at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, but the exact date and moderator have not been specified.

“Also, the Second Debate is being held at the Reagan Library, the Chairman of which is, amazingly, Fred Ryan, Publisher of The Washington Post. NO!” Trump added. (Read more from “Trump Hints He May Skip GOP Debates: ‘Nobody Got My Approval’” HERE)

Elementary Teacher Accused of Possessing Child Porn

An Atlanta-area teacher is facing multiple counts of possessing child pornography after investigators received a tip from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children.

On April 14, someone from Washington state contacted the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children regarding the possible online sexual exploitation of a child by a teacher at Poole’s Mill Elementary School in Cumming, Georgia, about 40 miles northeast of the state capital. NCMEC then alerted the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.

An investigation into the NCMEC tip led police to 38-year-old James Andrew “Drew” Cecil, who had been teaching fourth grade at Poole’s Mill Elementary for about two years. He also previously spent five years as a teacher and volleyball coach at North Forsyth High School in the same district.

Cecil was arrested last Friday without incident. He has been charged with nine counts of possession of child pornography and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. He was booked into Forsyth County Jail and assessed a bond of $55,200. He has likely been released on bond, as his name no longer appears on jail records. It is unclear when he is expected to appear in court. (Read more from “Elementary Teacher Accused of Possessing Child Porn” HERE)
